A number of festivals in Germany tackle children*s films - in other words, films by professional filmmakers for children. However, there are not many opportunities for children and young persons to present their own films. The Berlin Media Festival was established for them. Making your own film is an important step towards media competence, but reflecting on that work and exchanging thoughts about it with others is just as important.
The festival is designed and planned for the most part by young people; media educators provide the necessary organizational and financial framework. The competition is divided into three age groups, therefore representing a wide spectrum of works. The technique used to produce the film is of little consequence, more important are the idea and its realization.
The winners will be chosen by an independent jury of specialists and by a producer*s jury, taking the diverse production techniques into consideration. In each age group a gold, silver, bronze and producer*s clip will be awarded. Each award winner will also receive a cash prize.
