After a successful albeit digital 36th festival edition in 2020 with more than 20,000 people attending online, we are now looking forward to submissions for the next interfilm Festival in November. We expect to view over 6000 film entries again in 2021, of which more than 400 will be selected and curated for numerous competitions and special programs, and presented to eager audiences at our cinemas and diverse venues. We are looking forward to a rich spectrum of narrative excellence and critical voices as well as curiosities from all over the globe. For 6 festival days in 7 competitions and various special and focus programs, we will celebrate the contemporary short film in all its facets.
An ambitious, versatile program has always been interfilm’s trademark, with particularly exciting, diverse and outstanding productions of all genres and formats from all over the world thereby forming the basis of our curatorial work.
Therefore we would like to ask you to please share our call for entries through your respective channels. In the attachment you will find an image that you can use in social media, e-mails and on your website. Naturally, we will also be happy to provide you with any further material if needed.
