About LUCAS

Lights out and film on at LUCAS #47: From October 5 to 11, Germany’s oldest film fes­ti­val for young audi­en­ces pres­ents award-win­ning cine­ma­tic art for ever­yo­ne from four years old to 18plus. Families and film lovers of all ages can expect out­stan­ding cine­ma expe­ri­en­ces in Frankfurt, Offenbach, and Wiesbaden.

At the heart of LUCAS are the com­pe­ti­ti­ons in the »Kids«, »Teens« and »Youngsters« sec­tions. In addi­ti­on to the com­pe­ti­ti­on pro­gram, the fes­ti­val shows clas­sics of film histo­ry, short films for the very youn­gest and other pro­grams, some of which are desi­gned by child­ren and young peo­p­le. During the fes­ti­val week, a spe­cial focus is pla­ced on the film talks, in which film­ma­kers from all over the world enter into dia­log with the audience.

Participation at LUCAS means »Get invol­ved!«. As mode­ra­tors, fes­ti­val repor­ters, film cri­tics, jury mem­bers, or cura­tors – young film fans are invi­ted to par­ti­ci­pa­te in a varie­ty of ways throug­hout the festival.

For repre­sen­ta­ti­ves of the film indus­try, con­fe­ren­ces and panel dis­cus­sions take place that deal with topics of film edu­ca­ti­on and cur­rent trends in children’s and youth film production.

LUCAS – International Festival for Young Film Lovers is orga­ni­zed by DFF – Deutsches Filminstitut & Filmmuseum e.V.
