About FILMSCHOOLFEST MUNICH
Since 1981, the Munich International Festival of Film Schools has been an important meeting place for the celebrated film directors of tomorrow. Its founder, Professor Wolfgang Längsfeld, directed
the festival until 2002; Diana Iljine has been its director since 2011. This is one of the world's leading festivals for young filmmakers. Each year, film schools from all over the world submit
current works by their students to be reviewed by a committee of experts. The 50 or so short fiction, documentary, animated and experimental films the committee selects for the festival are
screened in international competition, where they vie for lucrative prizes. These are awarded by an independent festival jury chaired by a distinguished individual. (Past jury chairs have included
Marco Kreuzpaintner, Michael Ballhaus, Wim Wenders, and Götz Otto.) The program regularly includes special competitions (such as Climate Clips), HFF Specials (selections of current films from the
Munich Academy of Television and Film), Q&As, and panel discussions. A key aspect of the festival, in addition to presenting the films, is enabling networking among filmmakers from around the
world as well as with the film industry in Germany. Members of the International Film School Association have indicated in surveys that FILMSCHOOLFEST MUNICH (International Festival of Film
Schools) enjoys great popularity among its participants.
