Eat My Shorts - Hagen Short Film Festival

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Eat My Shorts - Hagen Short Film Festival is a German short film festival . It was founded in 2013 and has so far been held annually in October or November in Hagen , North Rhine-Westphalia . Six German short films will be invited to the festival and nominated for the jury award. The festival jury is mostly made up of well-known people from the German film industry .

history

The Eat My Shorts - Hagener Kurzfilmfestival was brought into being in 2013 by the former pharmaceutical representative Bernhard Steinkühler, inspired by his son Dustin Steinkühler, who works as a producer and director. The name of the festival is based on the saying "Eat My Shorts" (German: "Eat my shorts") of the character Bart Simpson from the cartoon series The Simpsons . If shorts in the television series mean underpants, the festival means short films.

Bernhard Steinkühler directs the film festival and presents it in cooperation with the Kultur und Filmförderverein Hagen in Westfalen eV and the Dortmund company überRot . From 2019, the festival no longer took place in the Cinestar - Kino von Hagen, but in the Theater Hagen . The opening film of the festival, which is not running in the competition and can be a full-length feature film, will continue to be shown in the Cinestar cinema.

In 2018 Steinkühler received 3,100 film submissions after fewer than a hundred applications in the early years of the film festival.

The usually three-day Eat My Shorts - Hagen Short Film Festival is aimed at German filmmakers and media professionals. It can documentary and fictional film works, which are not older than three years and not exceed a period of about twenty minutes and music videos that do not exceed a term of about seven minutes be submitted. After an opening film, the six nominated short films will all be presented to the cinema audience and the festival jury in one evening one after the other.
