Teddy bear power play by Denis Parchow (direction) impresses the judges; university film hat-trick for Film Academy Baden-Württemberg at the ‘Reklamefilmpreis’ advertising film award

As Wolf Bosse from ARRI Film said so well during his speech at the ‘Reklamefilmpreis 2012’ : be aware – these are the people that will want your jobs in the near future.’ That’s a good enough reason for us to write a short article about the shortlisted students here on GoSee.

We loved ‘Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark’ by director Denis Parchow for STEIFF and his creative and fantastical use of our favourite childhood friends. And we wouldn’t say no to DOP Stephan Burchardt either – only in this commercial of course. And we heard some rumours that we’re not the only ones who see it that way.

‘Toast’ by director Tobias Fricke and DOP David Finn criticises the waste of food. It’s simple but the message is very clear.

Kai Schonrath was shortlisted with his video ‘Flowers’. The thirty-year-old director completed his diploma at the Film Academy earlier this year and now lives in Berlin.
