Notes/description: REC has two sections: REC - Internationales junges Filmfestival (age 16 to 27) and REC for Kids (age 6 to 15)
REC - Internationales junges Filmfestival is a festival with an international open competition for films from youth age 16 to 27. As festival with a big international participation and with young filmmakers at the beginning of their career, it is a signpost for new topics, forms and trends. Not only the visitors benefit from that: Main focus at this festival for young talents is the possibility to receive a professional feedback and critical reflections for the screened films. Public internet-platforms like "youtube" can't provide that in this way – success here is measured in "clicks", which are only a very unprecise vote of spectators. This does not replace the personal and professional discussion on a festival.
