Creative preparation is required even before the Easter holidays begin: participants are asked to submit a film idea based on the theme "weird." The film idea can be sent to the media center as continuous text, in keywords, as a comic, or even as a voice message: filmreifmdz-wide

At the beginning of the workshop, a joint idea will be developed from the individual ideas and then filmed. The young filmmakers are responsible for everything: from makeup and costumes, acting and operating the camera to sound.

The film and other projects by the media center will be presented to the participants' families and school classes on the big screen at the Caligari FilmBühne. Participants should therefore be aware that the resulting short film will be shown to the public. We will provide information about when this will be in good time!

Have you ever experienced something so unusual that you had to look twice? Situations that are completely out of the ordinary—funny, crazy, or just different? Maybe you know people with quirky habits, or maybe you've done something yourself that no one would have expected. And what about movies and books that transport us to strange worlds – full of surprising twists and crazy ideas?

We also encounter weird things in everyday life: an unexpected coincidence, a perspective that turns everything upside down, or behavior that is new to you. Even on the internet, we find content that seems so weird that we ask ourselves, "How is that possible?"

"Weird" can mean even more: sometimes something seems unusual simply because it is not straight or is filmed from an unusual angle. Think, for example, of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Or when the camera is slightly tilted during a film shoot and suddenly everything looks a little crooked, so that you automatically look more closely.

What does that mean for you? A weird story, an unusual perspective, a character who breaks the mold? There are no limits to your imagination—we can't wait to hear your ideas!
