In the organizer's words:

German Competition IV
To Those Who Are Absent

Like ghosts, as forms of memories, the attitudes to life of others surround us. Enchanting and frightening, they try to move us to let their structures live on. It is up to us to sort through the inventory and find out: What do we want to keep?

Like ghosts, in the shape of memories, other people's attitudes surround us. Enchanting and intimidating, they try and have us keep their structures alive. It's our job to sort the inventory and find out: What do we want to keep?

The competition is the largest section and the heart of the festival. Every year, a team of five curators sifts through a huge number of the latest films under 45 minutes that were made in Germany or with German production participation in order to put together a balanced and heterogeneous program for our audience. Neither themes nor genres limit the selection.

In addition to the awarding of three prizes by an expert jury, the audience can also vote for the Audience Award.

Curation: Johannes Duncker, Mikkel Haynes, Julia Jesionek, Jennifer Jones, Eckhard Plöttner, Nicole Rebmann

A selection of the films will be screened in barrier-free versions in the KFFK+ program

This competition is the biggest section and the centerpiece of the festival. Every year, a team of five curators makes a selection out of a huge amount of the most recent films under 45 minutes that were produced in Germany or with a German co-producer, to compose a balanced yet heterogeneous program for our audience. Neither themes nor genres restrict this process.

ALL FILMS NOT IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE WILL BE SCREENED WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES.
