At the cent­re of LUCAS are the inter­na­tio­nal com­pe­ti­ti­ons with 21 cur­rent fea­ture-length films and 27 short films as German pre­mie­res. The juries award attrac­ti­ve pri­zes in the age sec­tions 8+, 13+ and 16+ | Youngsters. The films are scree­ned in the ori­gi­nal lan­guage with English sub­tit­les and German voice-over (no voice-over for ages 14 and up).

Young cura­tors are also invol­ved in this year’s LUCAS: six young peo­p­le from Europe, the “Young European Cinephiles”, pre­sent a film series on the the­me of “Obsession”. The “Classics Class” has sel­ec­ted their favou­ri­te cata­stro­phe films to match the DFF’s cur­rent spe­cial exhi­bi­ti­on. This year’s guest are the inter­cul­tu­ral film club “Blickwinkel Jetzt” with one move, and “Cinemini on Tour” with two short film pro­gram­mes for the very youn­gest at the “Minis”.
