Two tricksters on the way to a German passport: Really provocative, really funny!
Every year we present two jury awards during the festival: One of them is the DIGITAL SHORT FORM Award for the best short format series of the year. We introduce the jury and give an overview of the nominated series.
For the Digital Short Form Award, our program team selected the most exciting eight web series and short format series of the year. A jury of three experts with a strong connection to web and online formats will select the best production of the year.
Ipek Zübert
After her first experiences as a young actress, Ipek Zübert switched to PR and marketing, later she was responsible as the head of a cinema film distribution company. Since 2010 Ipek Zübert has been working as a screenwriter and has contributed to series such as BRUDER - Schwarze Macht, Dogs of Berlin and Die Welle. With Christian Zübert, Ipek Zübert developed the feature films EIN ATEM and DREIVIERTELMOND.

Philipp Schall
Philipp Schall is managing director of TELLUX Next GmbH. The internationally experienced film producer additionally operates game development with screenwriters* and interdisciplinary creatives as well as the interactive applications and experiences in virtual reality.

Soma Pysall
The Berlin native started her acting career with a leading role in the international youth series In Your Dreams. Her passion for filmmaking drove Soma Pysall early on to also work behind the camera, especially in the field of assistant directing. She attracted attention in 2020 with her role as a traumatized police student and murderer in the ARD Tatort Borowski und der Fluch der weißen Möwe. In 2021, she received the New Faces Award for Best Young Actress for her acting performance in the German Television Award-winning series, Para-Wir sind King.
