Kurzfilmabend der Freien Szene Film Dortmund

See Dortmund differently: An evening of beats, images and encounters

On August 16, Freie Szene Film Dortmund takes over the Film Nights - with an evening of beats, images and encounters. In the Quartiershalle in Dortmund's Hafenquartier, short film meets club feeling, discussion meets drinks, cinema meets neighborhood.

It starts at 6 pm with a relaxed DJ set. At 7:30 pm, the independent film scene in Dortmund will give an insight into their passion for making films in an open panel discussion - and talk about how they experience creative freedom, when it is helpful and when it becomes a challenge. Why in Dortmund in particular? What does "independent scene" mean? And what does it mean to work independently - artistically, financially, structurally?

Admission to the film program begins at 8:30 pm - accompanied by music and a relaxed get-together.

The short film program begins at 9:30 p.m. - a selection of current productions from the independent scene in Dortmund will be shown - sometimes with reference to the city, sometimes completely detached from it. The films are diverse in style, theme and attitude - just like the scene itself.
