Lecturers are members of britspotting Beatrice Behn (deputy festival director) and Dagny Kleber (Head of short films) who will be assisted by Christine Spangenthal-Eickelpasch (secondary school teacher, Englisch teacher with spezialisation in anglophone film analysis).

There will be three short film programmes including according work shops  available which are tailored to specific age-groups and required language skills. All films will be shown in the original version without subtitles and treat children and youth-related subjects.
