Five short films by filmmakers from Darmstadt and the surrounding region will be shown 90 minutes . The program will be complemented by a discussion with some of the participating filmmakers, who will be present and offer insights into their work.
“As a student cinema, we are particularly passionate about both the local film scene and the work of young filmmakers,” explains film club member Niklas von Rhein. The short film evening follows a successful event last year, which already featured Darmstadt productions on the big screen.
The program is deliberately diverse, emphasizes filmmaker Julius Marx, who curated the selection. It will feature documentary and fictional works, ranging thematically from socio-political issues and emotional stories to musical formats. A large portion of the films are by students of the Motion Pictures at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences.
