As the whole of Germany is slowly bound under the spell of the evil forces of the football world cup organising committee, we are refusing to surrender...
... and made a lucky escape.

The 22nd Hamburg International ShortFilmFestival takes place from 31 May - 5 June 2006. The submission deadlines will be the same (15 February for all competitions, except for the Three-Minute-Quickie, which has to be submitted by 1 April).

The dates for the 8th Mo&Friese Children's ShortFilmFestival have been changed accordingly to 28 May - 4 June 2006.

The crucial decision between football and film will therefore be postponed for another four years.
