Exchange meetings on the participation of teachers
LUCAS invites interested teachers and multipliers to the DFF at regular intervals to introduce them to the festival and learn about their needs. During the exchange, cooperation opportunities are discussed, initial program highlights are presented, and workshops that can still be booked are introduced. The common goal: to strengthen film as a mediating and artistic medium in schools and to inspire students for extraordinary cinema.

Educational Material (in German)
For the entries in the »Kids« and »Teens« | Feature Film competitions, experienced film educators compile educational film material that can be obtained free of charge by teachers and interested parties and is sent digitally with every film registration by groups. The materials enable school classes and other groups to take an introductory or in-depth look at the competition films, based on the standards of the DFF’s guiding principles for film education.
