The registration
Whether your film was made at the weekend with friends, at university or with professionals, that is not important to us. It doesn’t matter when and where it was produced – but it must not be longer than 30 minutes. Our film festival is open to all themes and styles.
Nevertheless we choose a special theme every year.
The special theme for kontrast 2025 is CONTRAST!
A firm and popular part of the film festival programme are two children’s film blocks (for children aged four / nine years and older). The best short film in each block will be awarded a trophy and prize money. The children in the audience will vote for the best film. So, children’s film-makers of the world, send us your best films!
You can participate in our festival with one (or more) films.
