Internationales Festival der Filmhochschulen München

It is held annually by the "Internationale Münchner Filmwochen GmbH", which is also responsible for Filmfest München each summer.

[1] Film schools from all over the world can submit student short films, where the submissions are evaluated by a jury then chosen to be shown during the festival.

Each year, approximately 100 foreign students and professors have the opportunity to meet and enter into discussions, win awards, and share their experiences with each other.

Among the jury presidents have been filmmakers such as Götz Otto, Philip Gröning, Marco Kreuzpaintner, Sebastian Schipper, Hans Steinbichler, Michael Ballhaus, Roland Emmerich, Wim Wenders und Bernd Eichinger.
