• 1:00 & 5:00pm (runtime 55 minutes) Light, Butterfly, A Clear Case, Knife and Fork Only, The Belly Dancer, Fairy Tale and Winston - Kentucky premiere of seven short films from the Academy for Film and Television “Konrad Wolf” in Potsdam-Babelsberg, Germany. This entertaining and light-hearted program will please viewers of all ages, and presents a rare opportunity to see the tremendous talent showcased by graduates of one of Germany’s top film schools. Some films are computer-animated, others utilize clay figure animation, and some rely on traditional film techniques. The themes of the films vary, though a number focus on intercultural communication and the importance of tolerance, varying in length from 3 to 12 minutes. More than half the films have never before been shown on the North American continent. Because some films that rely on language for communication have been subtitled, the program is more suitable for children who are old enough to read.
