Short Films, Long Impact: Fully Political Short Film Tour

Short films have great potential: they respond quickly, tell compelling stories – and get to the heart of complex issues. Social conflicts, political developments, and questions of how we live together are artistically intensified, critically examined, and made emotionally tangible.

For the third time, our film program is touring Saxony under the title "Short Films, Long Impact", featuring award-winning short films that take a clear political stance and inspire reflection.

At the heart of the program is the winning film of the "Fully Political – Short Film Award for Democratic Culture", which has been presented at FILMFEST DRESDEN since 2021. The award honors films that explore current political topics from unusual perspectives, spark discussion, and bring democracy to life.

In 2025, we’ll once again be on the road across Saxony with ten events.
In cinemas, socio-cultural centers, and public spaces, we present a program that provokes, unsettles, and inspires.

Following the screenings, we invite everyone to join an open discussion. At selected venues, filmmakers will also be present – for direct encounters and exchange.

Free admission – donations welcome
All films are shown in German or with German subtitles.
