Kurzfilm Festival Hamburg is once again among Germany’s film festivals with the fairest working conditions! During the Berlin International Film Festival, we were honored for the third time with the Fair Festival Award – presented by the AG Festivalarbeit within ver.di at the AG Kurzfilm reception. We are very pleased about the recognition and the great company alongside: abgedreht! – Hamburg’s junger Film , Braunschweig International Film Festival, Duisburger Filmwoche / doxs! documentaries for children and young people, exground filmfest Wiesbaden, Human Rights Film Festival Berlin, and NEISSE NYSA NISA FILM FESTIVAL.
The award is based on an anonymous survey conducted by ver.di among all permanent and freelance employees of German film festivals. In a two-stage process, the fairness of working conditions was evaluated in categories such as working atmosphere, equality, leadership, remuneration, and co-determination.
