Du weißt schon, wen wir meinen.

Die Person mit dem Ordner namens „final_final_FINAL_2_reallyfinal.mp4“.
Die Person, die seit Monaten, vielleicht sogar Jahren an diesem Film arbeitet.
Die Person, die immer wieder sagt: „Nur noch eine Kleinigkeit.“

👀 Dein Film war nie dafür gedacht, auf deiner Festplatte zu verstauben!

Reiche ihn beim ein und gib ihm die Chance, ein Publikum zu erreichen, Kontakte zur Animations-Community zu knüpfen und über deinen Bildschirm hinauszuwachsen.

Du bringst die Geschichte. Wir stellen die Bühne.

👉 Reiche deinen Film jetzt ein: https://itfs.de/branche_talents/einreichen/

You know the one.

The one with the folder called "final_final_FINAL_2_reallyfinal.mp4".
The one who has been working on that film for months, maybe years.
The one who keeps saying: “Just one more little thing.”

👀 Your film was never meant to live on your hard drive.

Submit it to ITFS 2027 and give it the chance to meet an audience, connect with the animation community and travel beyond your screen.

You bring the story. We provide the stage.
