Screening and Presentation of Awards
Legendary and singular: the competition programme of the dresdner schmalfilmtage invites again: to have a view on the kaleidoscope of the very vivid, international 8- and 16mm film scene. The productions are brand-new and the competition harder than ever. Only the best films will get to be part of the programme! At the end two prizes will be awarded: a jury and an audience prize. That means for you: be part of it, view and finally vote!
