Sommer Film Akademie is devoted to providing passionate filmmakers and the filmmakers of tomorrow with a nurturing and transformative learning experience. We seek to cultivate a dynamic, engaging, and high-quality learning environment that fosters creativity and individual growth. We're actively committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere, where individuals from all walks of life feel comfortable to unleash their artistic abilities freely. This is without consideration of race or ethnicity, age, gender, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, disability or economic status. We extend a warm welcome to all who want to make with an open heart and mind. The Sommer Film Akademie vehemently rejects any form of discrimination. This includes but is not limited to sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and any other form of prejudice. A firm zero-tolerance policy supports these values. We prioritise mindfulness, respect, and compassion as fundamental principles for nurturing collaboration and creativity within our environment. Only together can we build a vibrant and inclusive community where current and aspiring filmmakers can unfold and realise their artistic visions. We invite all future guests and participants to engage actively and wholeheartedly with promoting a culture of respect and empathy.
