Two student projects selected for Berlin Short Film Festival
The projects of two students from our BA (Hons) Filmmaking programme recently featured at Berlin Short Film Festival.
The festival, which is now celebrating its 14. year, will take place in the iconic Berlin cinema, Babylon. A unique platform for new talent, the festival has firmly marked itself as a leading short film festival for international filmmakers.
Two incredible shorts
Finalists Daria Kostina and Miklós Molnár and were the two students that directed the selected films, titled Still Life and This is Not a Metaphor for Alcoholism. The films formed part of a programme of over thirty different shorts, screened over two days.
“The fact that I was able to view my project in a cinema of different people is super exciting. While I love films in any setting, they’re always best shared.”
Miklós Molnár, BA (Hons) Filmmaking
Alongside their directorial work, Miklós and Daria are two of three co-founders of Crashers Collective, a Berlin-based indie production company run together with fellow filmmaking finalist Erwin Swieszek.
For Erwin, this marks an important moment in the evolution of Crashers Collective:
“We are super happy to see the projects we love dearly get some recognition on our first festival run. It just makes us more excited to continue making movies, and share them with those who are excited enough about the stories we want to make.”
Both currently in the final year of their bachelor’s studies, Daria and Miklós selection highlights the development of both filmmakers over the course of their degree.
“We are incredibly proud of Miklós and Daria for having their films selected for the Berlin Short Film Festival! For young filmmakers, it’s essential that they are able to share their unique perspectives and stories with the world. Being selected for the festival is a testament to their talent, dedication and hard work.
Congratulations again to Miklós and Daria – we can’t wait to see what you do next!”
