SUMMARY:Short Tiger Next Generation 2026: Premiere
DESCRIPTION:Already for the 16th time\, the FFA funding body and the GERMAN FILMS export body are providing an opportunity to discover extraordinary short films and new cinematic talents. The premiere of this year’s SHORT TIGER NEXT GENERATION programme is\nbeing held for the sixth time as part of FILMFEST DRESDEN. SHORT TIGER NEXT GENERATION 2026 comprises a selection of the best productions from German film schools and young directing talents from the independent scene.\nThe jury\, consisting of the director Anna Roller (whose second feature film ALLEGRO PASTELL was recently invited to the Berlinale Panorama section)\, the short film distributor Sarah Dombrink (interfilm Berlin)\, and the cinema operator Andreas Heidenreich (Kommunales Kino Weiterstadt municipal cinema and board member of the German Federal Association of Municipal Cinemas)\, included ten films in their selection this year and chose five winners of the SHORT TIGER 2026. The short film award\, sponsored by the FFA funding body and endowed with €5\,000\, is provided to the winners for the preparation or production of a new film.\nThe aim of the initiative is to strengthen the perception of short films within the public sphere and increase their screenings in the cinemas. The filmmakers receive a platform to present their films throughout the year in cinemas here in Germany\, as well as at media industry events abroad.\nWe are delighted that numerous filmmakers are attending the screening. After the premiere of the programme\, GERMAN FILMS is sending the films on a world tour\, with the first international stop-off being the Cannes Film Festival in May 2026. The five FFA Short Tiger winning films can be booked by German cinemas via the Kurzfilm Agentur Hamburg short film agency.
