Post Content: Dear film enthusiasts,
We, the Sehsüchte team, are once again on the lookout for exciting projects: feature films, documentaries, animated films, experimental film, social impact films, music videos, virtual reality, scripts and concepts and installations!
From April 22nd to April 26th 2026, the International Student Film Festival Sehsüchte will take place for the 55th time in Potsdam. It is one of the largest festivals for young filmmakers in Europe.
It provides a platform for up-and-coming international filmmakers to present their work and make contact with a broad audience and the industry. Sehsüchte sees itself as a place for encounters and networking, as an event of cultural diversity and a celebration of cinema, today and tomorrow.
Our identity and our programme are defined by innovative films, fresh impulses and new perspectives that reflect and negotiate current social and aesthetic discourses. In line with this year's motto 'What’s left?', we aim to turn our focus to the past, present, and future, while creating a creative space that fosters responsibility and courage and promotes the exchange of diverse cinematic perspectives.
