Together, KUKI and the Pädagogische Hochschule Zug/Switzerland established the SPARK competition with the goal of promoting the short film in school curriculum. To this purpose, annual screenings are held prior to the festival at various European teaching colleges, in which short films especially suited to educational purpose are presented. Teachers-in-training comprise the jury. At the festival, we present the 2 winners and further highlights of the competition on the big screen. A must for short film fans and educators with an affinity for film.
