Media Education Award for Young Curators

Yesterday, our Young Curators project was awarded the media education prize of the Saxon State Institute for Private Broadcasting and New Media (SLM)!

The project manager Uta Quietzsch, festival co-director Sylke Gottlebe and the members of our Young Curators accepted the prize at the award ceremony at the Zentralkino Dresden. We are very happy about this award and appreciation!

Since 2017 there have been our "Young Curators" with Dresden children and young people between the ages of five and 18. Our young short film experts select the children's and youth films for the FILMFEST DRESDEN together with the festival programme directors. During the festival week, the curators will then present the films to the audience in person together with adult presenters.
