Kurzfilm Festival Hamburg is Germany's film festival with the fairest working conditions! During the Berlinale, the team was honored with the Fair Festival Award. The prize was awarded for the third time by the AG Festivalarbeit in ver.di at the short film reception of the AG Kurzfilm.

For the year 2024, Kurzfilm Festival Hamburg received the highest rating from the team and is therefore considered the fairest film festival in Germany.
