Low Budget - High Energy 8th Annual Summer Academy at GILA August 24, 2011

Once again, students from the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg will conclude their “Summer Academy” at the Goethe-Institut Los Angeles and show friends and patrons highlights of their past years’ productions.

Since its founding in 1990 in the heart of a media center in Ludwigsburg near Stuttgart, the FILMAKADEMIE has become one of the most successful and high–profile film schools in Germany.
Due to its strong focus on hands-on filmmaking, their close working-relationship to the industry and their innovative department of animation the school has been turning out award-winning student films galore, including the The Gruffalo THE which was Oscar®-nominated for Best Animated Short Film in 2011.

Meet the students, their teachers and LA peers, watch and discuss their films and have a party!

A detailed program of the films shown will be made available before the screening.
