Our Festivaltrailer 2013
Unwrapping is actually the best about having birthday. That's what Mo&Friese's birthday presents have thouht this year, too – and just unwrap themselves in this festival trailer...
A huge thank you goes to Nils Kacirek and Jörg Hochapfel who made this lovely music and to Roman Vehlken who is responsible for the amazing sounds and the mixing (all three belong to the Freudenhammer Tonstudios)!
Peep out of a dark, enthusiastic room
Tons of DVDs for the 15th Mo&Friese Children’sShortFilmFestival 2013 accompany us to our film-watching-extreme-residence where we will withdraw ourselves from the daily routine. There will be nothing else to do – except for discussing shortfilms in darkened rooms, descending in artistic worlds and once in a while going for a run through fog and grasslands. It will be intensive, productive and definitively bombastic – we are extremely curious about this year’s film discoveries!
Saying that, we want to thank the numerous filmmakers who submitted their oevres for our viewers from 4 to 14+. And hear ye, young artists up to 13 years: Only you may still submit your self-made shortfilm for the competition HIGH FIVE! until 15th March.
"HIGH FIVE!" 2013
For this year’s HIGH FIVE! competition 2013 we are looking for creative, young moviemakers who enchant us with their self-made movies. The subject is Be bold, be brave! this time.
Have you ever experienced a situation, in which you were really brave? Maybe you jumped off a 10 meter spring board at a public swimming pool even though you are afraid of heights? Or maybe you were brave enough to say “no” in a certain situation although a “yes” would have been the easy way out? Or would you like to show us a situation, in which being brave wasn’t the wisest way to be after all? However you may interpret our motto: we are really looking forward to your ideas, as a short film, a short documentary or as a cartoon/animated film.
Requirements: If you want to participate in the HIGH FIVE! competition you shouldn’t be older than 13 years and your movie should have a length of five minutes at the utmost. Please hand in your movie by the 15th March 2013. If your film manages to make it to the top 3, it will be shown at the 15th Mo&Friese Short Film Festival on a big screen and awarded with prize money.
So get hold of a camera and let your fantasy run wild! You will find everything about submitting your own film in this form.
Phantasy is winning
The Animation „Things that Change. Dreams Phantasy“ made by children from Hamburg guided by Italian sound artists Andrea Martignoni and Roberto Paganelli during this years Mo&Friese Workshop „Filming the Sound“ won as Best Film category Mini in Animateka "Little Elephant Competition" in Maribor Slovenia.
We are looking forward to continue our work with Andrea and Roberto next year and we wish you all a dreamlike and phantastic holiday!
