Golden Sparrow Children's Media Soiree Kicks Off in Gera!
Kids' Entertainment Gala Kicks Off in Gera - Children's Media Festival inaugurated in Gera
Let's party like it's kids' birthday! The 33rd annual "Golden Sparrow" Children's Media Festival, the grandest event for German-language kiddie media, is underway in Gera. The whopper celebration begins today (4:00 PM) with the flick "The Secret Floor," directed by Norbert Lechner.
You know what's even sweeter? Festival organizers can now savor more dough from the state! The Free State is adding 75,000 euros to their annual support for the Golden Sparrow Kiddie Media Found, bringing the total to 285,000 euros. Party pooper Mario Voigt (CDU) will present the symbolic check at the opening.
There's a total of 32 films and series vying for the prestigious "Golden Sparrows" in six categories. Not to forget, six digital media offerings are gunning for the "Interactive & Digital Storytelling" competition title.
The main prizes will be handed out by a cool jury of 9 to 13-year-olds. These youngins will spend a week watching, evaluating, and deliberating on the competition entries before the awards ceremony on June 6 in Erfurt. This festival is the ultimate hangout for the media crew in the German-speaking world.
