JUNGER FILM
The nationwide short film competition JUNGER FILM is the heart of FiSH. Current films by filmmakers up to 26 years of age are shown. Between 20 and 30 short films are selected for the competition programme from around 500 submissions each year. The film discussions with the filmmakers on stage and the expert jury, which meets in public, characterise the communicative atmosphere at JUNGER FILM.
