Students´ Section

Since its premiere in 2001, the Students’ Films Section has proved to be an audience-favourite. In three days, it presents an extensive short-film competition with many German premieres, the forum MEET THE FILMSCHOOLS and its own award-ceremony. The goEast Students’ Film Award goes to the best entry in the categories “documentary or experimental film”, “short feature” and “animated film”. All three awards are endowed with €750 and are awarded by the audience.
The following academies and universities participate this year: the WRiTV, Radio and Television Department of Krzysztof Kieslowski's name of the University of Silesia, Katowice; the Faculty of Dramatic Arts of the University of Arts Belgrade – FDU; the Munich Academy for Television and Film – HFF; the University for Design – hfg Offenbach; the department of Media Design at the University of Applied Sciences Mainz; the department for Design at the University of Applied Sciences Wiesbaden and the University of the Arts Kassel. Directors from these colleges accompany the program.
