GERMAN SHORT FILM ASSOCIATION CONTINUES NETWORKING IN KIEV

Since 2006, the German Short Film Association has been presenting a short film marathon with a selection of 30 German productions at the Molodist International Film Festival in Kiev. Over the years this LONG NIGHT OF GERMAN SHORT FILMS has developed into a permanent audience favorite. Supported by German Films, it is possible for filmmakers to be on hand to present their films in person. Additionally, during this year’s edition of the festival, the award winners and nominees of the German Short Film Award will be presented in two programs during the festival, which is the oldest film festival in the Ukraine and one of the foremost industry meeting events in Eastern Europe.

“Since 2014, the German Short Film Association also offers industry events for Ukrainian and German filmmakers during the Molodist Talent Workshops. During this year’s edition, Andrea Wink (East-West Talent Lab, goEast Festival of Central and Eastern European Film) will address young professionals with her presentation on opportunities for up-and-coming filmmakers and also offers a Presentation Training to selected participants. There will also be the practical workshop “Reassemble the City. Change Perspectives” held by Stephan Mueller (director, Berlin, Kamerapferd), who has won many awards for his innovative short film collages. The aim of the various workshops is to encourage networking between German and Ukrainian filmmakers. The project is being supported by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
