SECTION: Short Film Competition

Traditionally, on Friday evening the curtain rises on "The Long Night of Short Films".

In two programs, the filmmakers show all their skills in the short genre.

With lightness, wit and irony, they dare to take a look at past times and seriously address the problems of the present. It is about relationships, friendships, drugs, violence and therapies of a very special kind. Great cinema from Eastern Europe, in which humor is not neglected.

The jury awards the following prizes in the Short Film Competition:
Main prize 2,500 EUR donated by Druckzone, Cottbus.

Special prize (to the director) 1.500 EUR donated by Tiede +
In addition to the prize money there is also the prize sculpture LUBINA (Sorbian: the lovely).
