In Cologne, the ifs International Film School Cologne, the Academy of Media Arts Cologne (KHM) and the KFFK/Kurzfilmfestival Köln will once again be taking part in Short Film Day 2024, presenting a selection of current short films by their students in the Filmforum at the Museum Ludwig.After the presentation of the films, Johannes Duncker, director of the KFFK, will lead the audience discussion with the directors present.
