Closing : 22nd February 2017
Festival: 24th - 26th March 2017

The festival has two elements. The international part is based on a different theme each year. For 2017 the theme is Passion. We are looking for films, that show passion, it doesn`t matter if in a club, or in a team, in a job or even in a hobby.
There is also a celebration of one-minute movies to which only German film makers can send entries.
The festival takes place in Senftenberg which lies roughly mid way between Berlin and Dresden. The Senftenberg club has been organising competitions and festivals since 1982. Each festival celebrates the culture of the selected country or region in film, song, dance, food and drink.
