2025/01/31: Call for Entries: 41. Kurzfilm Festival Hamburg
We're excited to announce that submissions are now open for the 41st Kurzfilm Festival Hamburg and the 27th Junges Kurzfilm Festival Hamburg Mo&Friese!
The festival will take place from June 3 to June 8, 2025.
For the International and German Competition as well as for our section Mo&Friese dedicated to young audiences, all genres with a maximum length of 30 minutes and not older than two years (January 2023) are accepted through the platforms Shortfilmdepot and Filmfreeway.
The Kurzfilm Festival Hamburg awards prizes worth a total of € 15.500,-. The Jury of the International Competition nominates one European film for the European Film Awards. For Mo&Friese, an international Jury is choosing a shortfilm for the ECFA Shortfilm-Award.
We also accept submissions for the festival's Triple Axel Competition. As always, the aim is to make a film on a given topic: "Mission Impossible". Whether it's a story of daring adventures, personal struggles, or overcoming insurmountable odds, we are looking for films that push boundaries, challenge the status quo, and inspire audiences to believe in the impossible. All genres and styles are welcome as long as the film is no more than three minutes. Whoever achieves this will be in the running for the audience prize (1,000 euros) on a legendary night at the Kurzfilm Festival Hamburg.
