Students‘ Platform: Call for entries open until November 30, 2020

Freiburger Film Forum

Festival of Transcultural Cinema

Our festivals’ students’ platform calls for first and final works such as documentaries, feature films and short films covering inter- and sociocultural issues. With our selection we aim to give an insight into the diversity, creativity, and originality of emerging filmmakers & visual anthropologists from all around the world – with no restrictions on theme, duration, or form.

We are looking for films that explore the complexity of our world by telling individual stories within their local contexts. Students of visual anthropology, media arts, filmmaking as well as socially engaged filmmakers without any formal study in these areas are welcome to submit their work. What matters most to us is the film’s attempt to listen and observe closely, the filmmaker’s sensitive engagement with its protagonists and subjects as well as its originality in terms of both content and form.

Collaborative, participative methods as well as experimental approaches to conveying social-cultural issues are most welcome. Just as in recent years, we also aim to create a space for VR projects and interactive documentaries.

Looking forward to submissions from all around the globe!

Submission deadline: November 30, 2020.
