Sommer Film Akademie is run by an exclusively volunteer team of filmmakers and filmlovers like you. Our team works to ensure that the annual program is a success.
We bring together filmmakers of varying experience levels for two weeks to make and learn together. This intensive time includes learning through hands on workshops, developing material, and making films together.
SFA24 will choose 4-6 main projects to produce fully. All participants will work together, learning new skills and lending expertise, to bring these projects to life. Each participant will have the opportunity to try their hand at a variety of different roles and responsibilities during the filmmaking process.
We also offer supporting programs with a diverse range of offers to fit your level of experience and availability.
Welcome to "Görliwood" - home to the "German Hollywood". Our programs take place near the German-Polish twin city of Görlitz/Zgorzelec, a small city known for its mighty film productions with international flair.
Our home base is Kühlhaus Görlitz, an expansive and inspiring location brimming with creativity and possibility. Centring our activities here also provides us with an opportunity to pursue stories that speak to the local Neisse Euroregion and settlement area of the Sorbians.
400 EUR for 2 weeks of full board and accommodation on site
200 EUR for 1 week of full board and accommodation on site
50 EUR per special workshop (3D workshop; Animation)
Participation fees go towards full-service catering and rental of camp-grounds, event spaces, and working space accommodations. They also go towards fair compensation for lecturers and the kitchen team.
Applicants submit project ideas with either regional-specific or cosmo-gonic topics or both. There are no limits to the creative interpretation of the word "origin". Four to six projects will be chosen by a Jury to receive a scholarship and participate for free. All others who would like to take part and be part of the film making process can simply register. Paid participants can take part in the workshops of the first week and/or choose a team in the second week to assist the filming and learn about the filmmaking process hands on.
