30th Hamburg International ShortFilmFestival

Come and submit your short films (fiction, experimental or documentary; max length 30 min) to our competitions, with their international, experimental or German sections, and from 3 June to 9 June 2014 let’s celebrate the short film here in Hamburg: cinema’s least compromising, most daring and most experimental art form.
 
And for the youngest cinema fans: The 16th Mo&Friese Children’s Short Film Festival, 1 June to 9 June 2014.
 
 
THREE MINUTE QUICKIE – Subject: Doping
 
Let there be dope!
 
Every year, the The-Three Minute Quickie Competition tasks the makers of short and shortest films with the following homework: Create a film of no more than three minutes running time on a given subject. The subject for 2014 is: Doping.
When you say doping, you immediately think of pills, injections and increased performances. Originally, Dop was a heavy South African liquor. When doping made it into a dictionary for the first time in 1889, it was defined as giving a cocktail of opiates and narcotics to a racing horse. Soon afterwards, the word “dope” became metonymic with cocaine, morphine, strychnine, caffeine or cannabis as well.
Even though our upcoming festival will focus on sports and throw a spotlight on its darker sides, we are looking forwards to cinematic intoxications, inebriations and abuses as well. We don’t give a damn whether you’re expanding your consciousness or pushing yourself to ecstatic peak performances. But keep in mind: Your dope submission may not exceed three minutes of length (or 3:59 min including trailer and credits) and it has to show up in our post by 1 April 2014. So, shoot and shoot up!
The jury will be the audience at the 30th Hamburg International Short Film Festival and it will award 1.000 Euros to the best submission.
