Film Festival „kontrast 2007“ from 2nd till 4th February 2007 in Bayreuth
Short films with the theme “heroes” will form the centre point of the annual film festival “kontrast 2007” which will take place from 2nd till 4th Febrary in Bayreuth. The festival is going to present various short films, in order to demonstrate the highlights of film-making of professionalists and amateurs. In this respect the witty idea and its creative realization is more important than technical fineness.
Two issues shall be effected by the festival: on the one hand there shall be offered a platform to present their works to public to those (hobby) film makers, who don´t profit from any kind of financial aid, and thus operate with just insufficient technical means. On the other hand a high levelled standard shall be offered to the spectators in order to present them the highlights of profis of the same standard that they are used to when watching films on TV or at the cinema.
