Short moves
Shortmoves was an international short film festival in Halle (Saale) , which took place every autumn from 2001 to 2010.
history
Shortmoves was created by René Langner and Matthias Golinski. As part of an internship for their studies in cultural and media education at the Merseburg University of Applied Sciences, they developed the idea of organizing a short film festival that did not yet exist in Saxony-Anhalt. From 2009 the Hallisches Institut für Medien eV took over the organization of the festival. The festival was further developed and carried out together with students and lecturers of media and communication studies from the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg . René Langner acted as artistic director. Shortmoves, the international short film festival, has been closed since 2011. The founder, René Langner, ended his activity as artistic director and did not want to give his "baby" into other hands. There were short moves in Halle for ten years, during which the filmmakers and the Halle audience can look back on interesting highlights. For the 2010 anniversary, two cinemas were shown for the first time, which were almost sold out on both festival days and the panel discussion accompanying the festival was extremely well attended. The seminar accompanying the festival by the lecturers Manja Rothe-Balogh, Dr. Steffi Schältzke and Dr. Thomas Wilke at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg was awarded a teaching prize for innovative teaching concepts in October 2010.
procedure
Shortmoves was not an exclusively student festival, but filmmakers and laypeople of all ages and nationalities were addressed. Around two thirds of the films submitted came from Germany, while the remaining entries were international and mainly came from European countries. A selection of the films submitted were shown in a cinema in the city over two days. A jury award and an audience award as well as a special award from the Saxony-Anhalt Art Foundation were awarded.
Shortmoves did not restrict either genre or subject. Therefore, the design of the contributions ranged from story, documentary, fiction, animation, music or experimental. The only restriction was the length of the films: they could not be longer than 15 minutes.
