32^nd MUNICH INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF FILM SCHOOLS, November 11 - 17, 2012

As part of the Munich International Festival of Film Schools film students are invited to participate in our two special competitions.

In its fifth year, the CLIMATE CLIPS Award and € 5,000 goes to the best clip on climate change. These clips can be documentaries, fiction, comedies or dramas – all forms of artistic expression. They just have to be one thing - convincing! The prize is sponsored by the Nagelschneider Foundation for Renewable Energy.

For the first time, the special competition for the Hofbräu Trophy will be held as part of this year’s festival. We invite you to participate in the run for the most original Hofbräu beer commercial, sponsored by the brewery Staatliches Hofbräuhaus in München. The winner will take home € 5,000!

For the first time this year all films have to be submitted via reelport.com.
