Twelve young filmmakers were honored at the Saxon Film Festival for Children and Teens, “film ab!” Students from all over Saxony were able to see their self-produced works on the big screen and celebrate winning prize money totaling 2,600 euros, according to the festival organizers. A total of 104 films were submitted in four categories: grades 1–4, grades 5–8, grade 9 and up, and the special theme “It’s Okay to Dream.” A panel of experts and a five-member youth jury ultimately selected the winners, who were honored at the Kulturkino Zwenkau. The festival aims to promote media literacy among students and nurture young film talent. It is organized on behalf of the Saxon State Ministry of Culture and in cooperation with the Saxon State Media Authority. Copyright 2026, dpa (www.dpa.de). All rights reserved
