Kickin' Off the Golden Sparrow Kids' Media Flick Fest in Gera!
Kids' Entertainment Gala Kicks Off in Gera - Children's media festivity unfolds in Gera city
🎉🎉🎉
Get ready, kids! It's time to celebrate International Children's Day with the 33rd annual "Golden Sparrow" Children's Media Festival in Gera. This grand, German-language festival for kiddie media starts today at 4:00 PM, spinning us off with the movie "The Secret Floor," directed by Norbert Lechner.
Bear in mind, our festival organizers are grinning ear to ear thanks to some extra dough from the state. The state's boosting its funding for the Golden Sparrow Children's Media Foundation by 75,000 euros to a whopping 285,000 euros annually. And who else but Minister-President Mario Voigt (CDU) will grace us with a symbolic declaration of support at the opening.
With 32 films and series duking it out across six categories for the prestigious "Golden Sparrows," and six digital media offerings battling it out in the "Interactive & Digital Storytelling" category, excitement's in the air!
Seems like the main prizes will be handed out by a rockin' jury of kids, aged 9 to 13. These 30 bodacious youngsters will spend a week watching and judging the competition entries. The awards ceremony will be on June 6 in Erfurt. The fest, we find, is a must-visit for the media industry across the German-speaking world.
