The Hessian University Film Festival (HHFT) will take place on 19 November 26 at UK14 as part of the 43rd Kassel Documentary Film and Video Festival (17–22 November 26). The HHFT is an internal event for invited industry professionals and accredited festival guests.
For seventeen years, the Hessian University Film Festival has offered students from Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, the Kassel Art Academy, the Offenbach University of Art and Design and RheinMain University of Applied Sciences/Wiesbaden the opportunity to present their latest film projects to a select professional audience and fellow students. On show are final-year and semester projects, as well as debut films in the genres of documentary, experimental, animation and feature film. In addition, students have the opportunity to present new film ideas to representatives from the film industry during pitch sessions.
About the Hessian University Film Festival
The HHFT sees itself as a platform for networking and exchange between students and filmmakers from various universities in Hesse. It offers the opportunity to meet representatives from the film, television and media industries, to make contacts, to watch films and to present one’s own work.
After the event was on the verge of being cancelled, funding from Hessen Film & Medien has made it possible for the HHFT to continue in 2026. The organising team would like to express its sincere thanks for this vital support, as well as for the numerous positive responses and the great solidarity shown in response to the previous Call for Help.
