Now after many months of efforts to set up an alternative we have good news: the festival will take place from November 6th to 8th in the new venue Kassablanca. We had to shorten the program due to the current situation, and unfortunately, the number of spectators we can let in at the venue will be strongly limited. Still you can look forward to five international competition film blocks, three programs from our Country in Focus Japan as well as two special programs. You will find further information on our website under the menu Festival 2020.

The 21st celu l'art short film Festival 2020 is still to be held (we hope very much that this will be possible in November - stay tuned for news).

The celu l'art team begins with the preparation of the 22nd Festival, which is planned to take place from April 27 to May 2 2021 and starts today the Call for Entries!

This year we set the deadline earlier than usual because we still want to hold the 21st Festival later in November: the deadline is November the 1st 2020.

We welcome all international short films from 2020 in any language (if necessary, with English subtitles), which are shorter than 25 minutes! And the sooner you submit, the smaller is the fee.

We are doing our best to be able to offer you a somewhat smaller short film festival later this year.

But we won’t leave Jena without short films this Spring! Cellu l’art goes on the air during the original festival week! With the local broadcaster JenaTV and our beloved sponsors and donors, we have found a way to deliver some of the programs to your home!

On the 21st of April, at the scheduled start of the "Offline" festival, JenaTV will broadcast our special programme "Nature Sapiens" starting from 9pm. Six short films will show how complicated and different the interaction between mankind and nature can be. Most of the films are without dialogues, the rest will be shown in original language with English subtitles.

The second screening will happen on the 24th of April, starting also at 9 pm. Together with KinoDynamique Jena and FilmThuer we have collected six short films by filmmakers from Jena. They make the special programme "Ohne Mauern" ("Without Walls") and show how the walls in our heads separating the society can be demolished. They ponder upon inclusion, self-finding and civic engagement in a modern city. All films are in German.

We would like to thank our sponsors, donors and JenaTV for this opportunity.

Have a short look! Also on TV!

You know what they say, thatch your roof before the rain begins. In our case the rain is the next short film festival that will be in Jena in April 2020. And the roof to thatch is obviously the short films we are going to select for you. With that philosophical bit we just wanted to remind you that the call for entries for the next festival is now on. Till the 31st July you can submit your film on filmfreeway with a token fee of $3. Later - more! So hurry up!
