“Young talent has always been the focus of the Filmschoolfest. The needs of film students and young creatives have changed significantly in recent years - more networking, more experimentation, more inspiration are therefore at the core of the newly designed Festival of Future Storytellers - divided into the pillars Films, Talks, Labs. And everything is easily accessible for anyone interested in film.”
