interfilm has established itself as one of the most important
short film festivals in Europe. It is the second oldest German short
film festival (after Oberhausen), and is recognised as the second most
significant and oldest international film festival in Berlin after the
Berlinale. More than 5.000 films with a maximum running time of 30
