Wir möchten mit euch gemeinsam das Jahr ausklingen lassen, uns in Glühwein ertränken und uns so gemeinsam auf die 25. Kurzfilmwoche vorbereiten. Na ja, eigentlich wollen wir mit euch gemeinsam ein paar schöne besinnliche Stunden verbringen und uns auf die Weihnachtszeiteinstimmen. Dafür haben wir ein spannendes Kurzfilmprogramm für euch zusammengestellt:

Wir zeigen am 21.12.2018 in der FilmGalerie um 19:30 Uhr u.a. Weltpremieren von Filmemachern aus der Region rund um das Thema Stadt-Land-Fluss. Gerahmt wird das Programm mit einer Live-Text-Performance von Eva Karl und einer Live-Stummfilm-Begleitung von dem Regensburger Multiinstrumentalist Rainer Hofmann sowie der Vorführung des Films AUFARBEITEN von Denise Riedmayr, welcher im Rahmen der 24. Kurzfilmwoche mit dem FFF-FÖRDERPREIS ausgezeichnet wurde und ebenfalls das Thema zum Gegenstand hat.

Abgerundet wird das Filmprogramm mit weiteren Kurzfilmen zum Motto, mittels derer sich die Festivals des Arbeitskreis Films (CinEScultura,Queer-Streifen und die Stummfilmwoche) präsentieren. Und: Glühwein fließt in Strömen.

Alle Infos rund um den Kurzfilmtag hier: www.kurzfilmtag.com.

Wir freuen uns auf einen gemeinsamen Kurzfilmtag mit euch und eine schöne vorweihnachtliche Veranstaltung.
