Landshut short film festival
The Landshut Short Film Festival is a public festival in Landshut ( Bavaria ).
history
The Landshut Short Film Festival has been held every year in March since it was founded in 2000 and is one of the cultural highlights of the Lower Bavarian capital. The festival is known far beyond the borders of Bavaria and annually attracts around 5,000 guests from Germany and abroad. It is organized by the non-profit association Dynamo Kurzfilm eV
Traditionally, the focus is on productions from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, which compete in various competitions such as feature films, documentaries and children's films. Since 2011, two international competitions in the areas of genre short film, for horror, fantasy and science fiction films, and for animated films have been new. In 2015, another competition for European short film productions was added, “Europe in 16 minutes”.
Three venues with a total of seven screens add to the charm of the festival with their different ambience, whether arthouse cinema or multiplex. The halls have 60 to 450 seats.
The festival was also a pioneer of digital projection technology and in 2007 was the first festival in Germany to accept the Digital Cinema Package as a screening format and in 2009 short films in 3D were already in the competition.
In 2007 the Landshut Short Film Festival was awarded the E.ON Bayern AG Culture Prize.
