Emerging or unverified festival
The 23rd int. low & no budget film-sharing festival 2026 is an independent, non-commercial short-film festival based in Stuttgart and Heilbronn, with roots going back to 2003–2004 and the current Film-Sharing format established in Stuttgart since 2009. It is notable for its open screenings and audience-driven selection process, and for showcasing low- and no-budget short films that are narrative, inventive, humorous, and unconventional rather than documentary or music-video work.
