Short Film Competition

Immerse yourselves in the fascinating world of science. The competition selection once again offers the latest research findings and distinctive visuals. You can look forward to snow-capped mountains, search for long-lost islands, animals from Google Maps and much more.

This year, the Short Film Competition will present you with a wide range of scientific topics in a compact format that provides insight into various areas of research and visual expression. The selection for the competition reflects this diversity and presents the films in five thematic sections, interlinking and contrasting them with respect to their different approaches and formats. Come with us and discover the wonders of the microscopic and the immense both above and below, and observe the wonders of the animal kingdom directly in wetlands and gardens – or through the lens of your computer screen. You can experience various types of scientific research presented by the films through playful aesthetics and styles combining classical cinematography, animation and archival footage.
