NEXT GENERATION SHORT TIGER

Germany (2024), 97 min. Various Languages with English Subtitles
 

The German Federal Film Board (FFA), the 14th edition of this beloved annual showcase presents the year’s most promising young directors and outstanding student short films to international audiences and the film industry. The program combines new talents – the NEXT GENERATION of German Cinema – together with the best German shorts under 7 minutes – the winners of the FFA’s SHORT TIGER Award 2024.

The 11 short films for NEXT GENERATION SHORT TIGER 2024 were selected by an expert jury: director Sophie Linnenbaum (THE ORDINARIES), Alexandra Gramatke (Kurzfilm Agentur Hamburg) and Dr. Christian Bräuer (Yorck Cinemas, CICAE). They had to choose from 98 submissions from 19 German film schools and 18 additional shorts (up to 15 min) by independent producers that were preselected by members from the AG Kurzfilm.

Representing Germany’s diversity of forms, genres, and skillful filmmaking talent that international audiences have come to expect from German shorts, these deeply personal and universal stories confirm the notion that short film is an independent art form deserving of the big screen and the awareness of audiences worldwide.
