Shoot your own short film with your smartphone (max. 5 min)!
We are looking for the best young director
in the Harz region!
...let your imagination run wild!
Show us `your` Harz, your area,
your people, your story!
Content requirements:
The Harz region should also play a role
in your film in some way
and you should film in widescreen format
(i.e., not portrait but landscape,
because we want to show your film on a cinema screen)
...but otherwise you can do whatever you want (!)
(Without depictions of violence
and discrimination, of course.)
