Clothing, diet, equal rights, recycling, demographic change, fair trade, migration, education,

environmentalism, consumption, development aid, ...all these issues are hold together by the term

sustainability. You didn't know that? So we decided to devote 2012's focus of Europe's largest

international student film festival sehsüchte to sustainability. The term is on everybodyfs lips right

now and often overused. Therefore it is even more important to deal with this subject and to

contribute to the common consciousness. The German Bundestag has approached us with this

matter of interest and we decided to put 2012's focus on sustainability. The best film will be

awarded with a prize of 2500 €, donated by the German Bundestag.

You can apply for the following categories:

Feature Film (long, short)

Documentary (long, short)

Animated Film

Music Video

Childrenfs Film

Sustainability.

Short are many things. Hunger, love, horizons? My door marks the end. After that, therefs

something else. Consumption only knows pink and grey tones. Ongoing commuting between

income return and barbecue meat. We want it quick, cheap and juicy. Time has satisfied us on a high

level, so we should shift our focus from calories to the aesthetics of the product - we have to!

Beauty knows many shapes. Where does my clothing, my food and my iPhone come from? Which

sources, which mills drive land and life? Can it be even quicker, cheaper and more juicy? Or are

there boundaries beyond my door?

Sustainability is the talking point!

What are your ideas? We are looking forward to your opinions and perspectives!
