INDEPENDENT DAYS|22nd International Filmfestival Karlsruhe
The INDEPENDENT DAYS | International Filmfestival (IDIF) presents
films that reflect the whole spectrum of Independent Cinema, especially
focused to the European Cinema. We screen shorts and feature films of
all genres as well as documentaries. The best films are being awarded,
currently, there are 14 award categories. The total amount of our price
money is 23,000 Euro.
The focus is on independent film productions from all over the world and the festival shows short films as well as documentary and scenic feature films. So INDEPENDENT DAYS has created a platform for film students and professional filmmakers
who show how great films can be created without the support of major
film and TV studios with little financial means.
The professional filmmakers here are not oriented towards
mainstream cinema, but tell their stories in a creative, inspiring and
refreshing way. They take up current topics and use the entire
spectrum of modern filmmaking with a fine feel for emotional film
material in order to conjure them up on the screen.
The diversity of genres is also important to the film festival, something that many major film producers and TV stations shy away from, especially in Germany and Europe. The INDEPENDENT DAYS are committed to a cinema that can overcome the limits of reality with courage and self-confidence and reflect on the strengths of storytelling. So the festival shows a film programme that reflects the entire spectrum of independent cinema.
