The summer.film.academy in Görlitz will accompany you and other participants over two weeks in developing and realizing short films in teams, covering screenwriting, directing, camera, editing and sound.
Our different workshops will lead you through the production steps of a shortfilm. We will provide the tools and space to apply your newly learned skills on your corporate production. Being an international community for two weeks, we will learn with and from each other and share experiences and knowledge, whilst connecting creativity and productivity– leading to our public premiere in the city of Görlitz, to celebrate our results. No matter which background and level of experience in filmmaking you have, everyone is welcome to become a part of our 2025 edition.
We are focused on the region of Lusatia, a melting point of three countries and the Sorbian community, where we create a meeting point for people from different backgrounds for cultural and creative interchange.
We want to explore the themes of identity, home, and origin through film, with content support from local actors and contributors.
Our program will be announced soon!
Sommer.Film.Akademie is part of a growing effort to establish an international alliance of independent film schools, summer labs and community-based educational initiatives.
We bring together filmmakers of varying experience levels to create and learn together for two weeks, including learning through hands on workshops, developing material and making films together.
Our home base is Kühlhaus Görlitz, an inspiring place, brimming with creativity and possibility. Centering our activities here also provides us an opportunity to pursue stories that speak to and from the local Lausitz and settlement area of the Sorbians.
We seek to cultivate a dynamic, engaging and international environment that fosters creativity and individual growth.
