Over 400 pupils from the Oder-Spree district attended the FILM WITHOUT BORDERS school cinema screenings this year. As in previous years, a youth jury helped to select the films. In 2025, the 30 jurors came from an 8th grade class at the Europaschule Storkow.
With FIT FOR SCHOOL CINEMA, the FILM WITHOUT BORDERS association offered a new workshop format for the first time, which focused on strengthening the culture of discussion in the festival's youth program.
In four further workshops with young people from the district, various film projects were created, including the film SUMMENDE BILDER, which shows the social life of bees and the joy of moving images, and the short film KLEINE DENKMÄLER about stumbling blocks in Bad Saarow. The projects were directed by filmmakers Anna Faroqhi and Haim Peretz. FILM OHNE GRENZEN would like to thank all contributors, sponsors and supporters who made these projects possible.
