The Landshut Short Film Festival is a success story! For 25 years it has brought together filmmakers and film fans from near and far and delighted with a diverse mix of different genres. This is also the case in the anniversary year, when 5,000 guests are expected again and the special fascination of short films, which lies in both its willingness to experiment and its intense expressiveness, will once again become clear in eight competitions.
Bavaria values and strengthens film! With the FFF Bavaria we promote ambitious film projects as well as our diverse cinema landscape in the Free State. The Landshut Short Film Festival can also count on this active support. At the HFF, the industry’s young talent receives excellent training. There is no doubt that Bavaria offers the best conditions for moving images and is therefore one of the most attractive film locations in Germany. We will ensure that it stays that way in the future!
Congratulations to the organizers on their great anniversary, which is evidence of exemplary commitment. Thank you very much for that! We wish the competition participants every success and the audience a special film experience, each of which will be short-lived but certainly have a long-lasting effect!
