Call for Entries 2025
The time has come! This year, our SCHLiNGEL Film Festival will celebrate its 30th edition in the heart of the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025. Film submissions for the anniversary edition are possible from 8 February via FilmFreeway.
At the last SCHLiNGEL, we welcomed over 20,000 young and old film fans to our venues and screened 181 films from over 50 countries. We are looking forward to receiving numerous great submissions so that we can bring such a plurality of films to the big screen again next year.
In addition to the film screenings, our SCHLiNGEL International Film Festival for Children and Young Audiences also includes panel discussions, film talks and workshops. As an integral part of the festival, the SCHLiNGEL Industry Forum offers our professional guests a platform for exchange and networking and thus a meeting place for the children's and youth film industry. The 30th SCHLiNGEL will take place from 27 September to 4 October 2025 in Chemnitz.
Curious now? Submissions for short and feature-length films can easily be made via Filmfreeway: filmfreeway.com/SCHLiNGEL. The deadline for feature-length films is 15 July 2025, while the deadline for short films is 1 June 2025.
We look forward to outstanding films!
