The Dortmund Short Film Festival is organised by students of the Advertising and Media Academy Marquardt (WAM) in cooperation with the Dortmund Agency and CineStar Dortmund. A selection of 10 short films will be screened from all submissions from German-speaking countries. An expert jury will select the three best short films and award them the “Dortmund Short Film Prize” in bronze, silver and gold, which are endowed with 500, 1,000 and 1,500 euros respectively. The Audience Award will also be presented again this year.
