17.02.2017 | Call for proposals for Nordlichter series
Under the motto "It's all about love", up-and-coming North German writers, Directors and Executive Producers can submit their concepts for the 2018 "Nordlichter" programme for young talent until 15 April 2017.
Love means the greatest affection for another, combined with passion, intoxication, romance, longing and sex. Trust and belief in great love lead to happiness and unhappiness. It can be told comically and tragically, dramatically and drastically.
Countless classics such asGone with the wind,Casablanca,Breakfast at Tiffany's,Harold and Maude, The story of Adele H., Jon the other side of Africa, Ssleepless in Seattle,Broke Back Mountain,In the Mood for Love have moved men and women across generations to tears and made them dream, shaping and shaking their world view. What relationship stories and love concepts does the generation of 20 to 30-year-old filmmakers have today? What do love and relationships mean to them?
