Over 140 national and international films and short films will be shown during the festival, most of them celebrating their German premier in Chemnitz and will be introduced by their film teams. More than 21.000 visitors are expected, of which almost 300 are national and international professionals. SCHLINGEL is an independent film festival with competitions in different categories and diverse fringe events. It understands itself as a platform for international children’s and youths’ movies in Germany and gives every year in autumn an overview of the most recent productions from all over the world. Operator is the Sächsische Kinder- und Jugendfilmdienst e.V. in Chemnitz. Co-organiser is the Sächsische Landesanstalt für privaten Rundfunk und neue Medien SLM. The Festival is under patronage of Saxony’s Prime Minister Stanislav Tillich.
