The film festival
There are two objectives we want to achieve with
this Festival:
First we want to offer amateur film makers, who transform their
ideas without financial support and therefore mostly with limited
technical possibilities, a forum to show their work in public. Our
second goal is to provide the audience with shortcuts of TV or cinema
quality and feature highlights of shortcuts produced by individual
professional film makers.
To achieve these two goals, we decided to do
the following:
We will accept every format ranging from a VHS video of an amateur
film maker to a 16 mm film by a professional director up to 30 minutes
in length on every possible subject that has ever been produced
in this or the last century in this galaxy. And absolutely without
any restriction in subject whatsoever!
On the other hand, we want to feature a different
subject every year. For our Festival in 2012, we have selected the
theme "LICHTBLICKE".
One of the attractions of a good film festival
for the audience, as well as for the participants (directors, actors,
etc.), besides the films themselves, is the opportunity for socializing
between the artists and their audience in a relaxed atmosphere.
It is therefore important for us to offer a location that enables
this exchange.
The Zentrum in Bayreuth as the location for the
Film Festival offers an auditorium for more than 300 spectators
for each of the shortcut series, as well as a cafeteria area that
will enable communication among all present without having to leave
the premises. On Saturday evening, there will be a big film party
and we'll present the awards. We will also offer work shops and
lectures on film making.
Dates
The festival took place from January 27th through
January 29th 2012.
