The short films submitted should find answers to the question: ‘Is there such a thing as Europe and if so how many?’ All genres are permitted: the short films can reveal points of view on Europe in narrative shorts, animations, documentaries through to experimental film. The films should be no more than three years old and no longer than ca. 15 minutes in length.
The Forum EUROPE: UNLIMITED wants to encourage the discovery of new narratives for Europe and to illuminate original wishes for the future. Europe will be given complex expression in the Forum debates between scholars and film-makers discussing around 20 selected films.
Selected by a team involving all project partners 12 films are part of the competition and will be evaluated by the members of the Jury. These films were presented during the Forum within four different main topics, which guide through the two-days programme.
Each filmsession was introduced by Magdalena Nowicka and followed by a panel discussion chaired by Anna Henckel-Donnersmarck.
