Program

Profile

Short, concise, discursive, stimulating, style-forming. The Kurzfilm Festival Hamburg presents the state of the art of the short form. In three great competitions, the International Competition, the German Competition and the Triple Axel, film makers and artists compete for prizes of a value of 15,500€. In the Laboratory of the Present, curated film programmes introduce questions, conditions and commentaries on contemporary issues which are then discussed in the forum with guests.

Competitions

columnblock

This year we show 91 films in the International and German Competition as well as the Triple Axel. We meet filmmakers, make connections and raise questions. All three competitions show feature films as well as documentaries, hybrid formats, animations and 3D productions. The International Competition presents current aesthetics and new narratives, the German Competition the best from the nationwide short film and film school scene. In the competition for the Triple Axel, films are shown that are a maximum of 3 minutes long and are dedicated to the theme "At Night".
