It's time to SCHLiNGEL again!
Long enough the worldwide pandemic has determined our living and working. We think it's time to have something to look forward to:
Also in 2021 SCHLiNGEL will bring films, a young audience and the film industry to cinemas - physically, live and "in color". The 26 International Film Festival for Children and Young Audience will take place from 09 to 16 October 2021. After we managed to have 13.000 guests at place in 2020 we're even more optimistically for this year's festival edition. Here you can see pictures of the SCHLiNGEL 2020. We thank all partners, sponsors and helpers for making SCHLiNGEL 2020 in these special times possible.
After the Opening Ceremony on 09 October different locations invite to film screenings. Also the IFF SCHLiNGEL Industry Forum will take place at the Chemnitzer Hof. Well-known and new formats as COMING SOON and the first CENTRAL EUROPEAN CHILDREN'S FILM MARKET are waiting. The big finale will be the Awarding Ceremony on 16 October.
The extraordinary, brand-new and diverse productions at the SCHLiNGEL International Film Festival for Children and Young Audiences have been drawing thousands of young and old cineasts from Chemnitz and the surrounding area to the CineStar in the Galerie Roter Turm every year since 1996.
Beside this IFF SCHLiNGEL offers a challenging and varied fringe programme to accompany the first-class viewing delights, with podium discussions, talks and workshops. There is a particular emphasis on educational sessions on film and media for kindergartens and schools; through practical activities, the participants are given an insight into topics such as film production or using a camera and equipment. Professionals also bring themselves up to date with the latest trends and issues relating to children’s and young adult films at seminars and forums, and can exchange views with each other in lively discussions.
In addition to the annual staging of the SCHLiNGEL International Film Festival, matinee tours have been established across Saxony. Selected productions are brought to a larger international audience outside the festival as well. This is the aim behind diverse international film presentations, for example in Canada, China, India, Japan and Russia.
