Smart creativity: Youth media festival celebrates 30 years in the Latche!

Neubrandenburg, Deutschland - In Neubrandenburg, the signs are on creativity and exciting media experiences! From July 2 to 4, this year's youth media festival will take place in the Kino Latcht, which can look back on 30 years this year. Project manager Hanna Bührig and her team have come up with a lot to celebrate this anniversary. A highlight is the over 60 submissions that come from different cities of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and cover a wide range of topics and formats. Bührig describes the contributions as "loud, creative and scary" and promises a varied program for all ages.

A large component of the festival is the youth video competition "The Great Flap", which is donated by the Nordkurier. Here 33 contributions compete against each other, which range from one-minute clips up to 20 minutes long short films. These exciting works are evaluated by an expert jury that places a special focus on creativity and wealth of ideas. The participants are between 5 and 25 years old and bring a breath of fresh air and creative approaches to the competitions.

The program is composed in a complex manner and offers something for everyone. On July 2, the radio competition "Freelagers" and the workshop "Podcast made easy" are on the plan. The latter shows how you can produce a podcast yourself with simple means. On July 3, the school video competition "Video Makes School" and the performance of the film "Mels Block" will follow, which starts at 6 p.m. After the film, a conversation with directing and cast invites you to exchange.

The last day of the festival, July 4, is all about the video competition "The Big Flap".

The film "Mels Block" will be carried away by the audience with its touching story.

With a mix of nostalgia and the striving for a new beginning, the film addresses many emotional topics and provides an authentic insight into the challenges of growing up.

The youth media festival not only offers the opportunity to admire the creative work of young media designers, but also exciting conversations and workshops. The team around Hanna Bührig is looking forward to welcoming all those interested in the Kino Latcht and celebrating this anniversary.
