ISFF Detmold

Since 21 years, we have celebrated our International Short Film Festival in Detmold. Every year, we screen more than 300 short films.

Beats to think

Do you want to create your own song? During the inclusive and integrative workshop, young people and young adults learn together how to create and record their own song.

At our barrier-free and inclusive festival in Detmold, over 10,000 films have lit up the screen. Will yours be next at the 21st edition? Submit now and let your story captivate the audience!
