Idea &
Participation

For the short film award “More than Fairy Tales”, WFB Wirtschaftsförderung Bremen GmbH is looking for your declaration of love for Bremen. Short, creative and even a little different. But above all: authentic. Take part and show us your view of the city with your film in a maximum of one minute and win great cash prizes at the Bremen Film Festival 2023. In addition to the cash prizes, you will of course receive attention and appreciation for your view of Bremen, and we will make sure of that.

More info

The Bremen Town Musicians are world-famous. But Bremen is so much more, isn’t it? Definitely “More than fairytales”! That, by the way, is the name of the nationwide campaign with which the Hanseatic city is currently drawing attention to itself. Instead of the usual topics like Beck’s, Werder and the World Heritage City Hall, we are also relying on the power of images of your Bremen lifestyle with the short film competition. Show us what makes Bremen so special for you! Why do you like living here? What makes you proud? What about your district? Why is this city worth a visit and where are the “hidden champions”, “hidden highlights” and the “real” guys? All this told briefly, emotionally, loudly or quietly and above all as you want it in one (!) minute.

Awards &
Prizes

The best films are nominated by a jury of Bremen personalities. We present these films online in advance and invite the nominees and their companions to the award ceremony on 16.04.23 at 11 a.m. in the large cinema hall of the Schauburg Bremen for a Bremen matinee.
