FFDD25 Nominees: "fully political" & LUCA Film Award
During the festival week you can look forward to special thematic programmes that bring together the nominated films for some of our special awards: the "fully political" short film award for democratic culture as well as the LUCA film award for gender diversity.
Pre-juries selected these entries with their special focus on content from our competition submissions. The juries will then decide on the winning films. So it will be exciting!
NOMINEES: "FULLY POLITICAL" - SHORT FILM AWARD FOR DEMOCRATIC CULTURE
* Thu 5:30 pm | SCHAUBURG * Sun 4:00 pm | SCHAUBURG
Short films have the advantage of being able to reflect cultural, social and political trends quickly, artistically and pointedly. This year, for the third time, the "voll politisch - Kurzfilmpreis für demokratische Kultur" ("fully political - short film award for democratic culture") honours the film that provides a critical and controversial view of a political topic. A preliminary jury selected the nominated film entries.
