Call for Entries 2025
Dear Filmmakers,
you are welcome to submit your movie to the 11th Edition of the Greenmotions Filmfestival in Freiburg, Germany, from November 6th-9th. We are looking forward to reviewing your film!
Greenmotions inspires and encourages people to take active participation in the transition towards a regenerative culture in which humanity harmonizes with the rest of the natural world. For a lot of us there seems to be a gap between this vision and the reality of our daily lives. And that’s where your films come in.
We screen solution-oriented, constructive and empowering films dealing with the environment, sustainability and beyond. The festival is open to films of all production techniques, including animation, documentary, drama, experimental or artistic films and hybrid work from low to high budgets.
We are looking for films for our four different categories:
- Short Film (up to 20 minutes)
- Short Film for Children (for kids from 5 to 12, up to 30 minutes)
- Feature Film (20 to 120 minutes)
- Special Topic (up to 120 minutes)
At the end of the festival, one film will be chosen as the winner in each category. The winners can expect prize money of up to €1,500!
The first three categories focus on the general environmental and sustainability themes. Our Special Topic of the year is: “Closing the loop: Living within Planetary Boundaries”. We want to showcase innovative solutions that transform our linear way of living into a sustainable, circular lifestyle. Further information on our Special Topic can be found here.
The deadline for submissions is the 15.04.2025. We only accept films completed from 2023 to 2025. We accept “work in progress”. English or German subtitles are required if the film language is any other than English or German. Transcripts (in German and/ or English) are appreciated. Films for children need to be either in German or with no dialogue.
We invite filmmakers from across the globe to submit their films that explore sustainability topics! By submitting your movie, you agree to our Terms and Conditions. Please read them carefully to make sure your film fits our selection criteria and is submitted fir the right category.
