Mo&Friese Party – Water Worlds
01.06.,15.00 Uhr | Festivalzentrum PlaygroundOn the Sunday before the festival starts, our doors open for all film and craft enthusiasts from the age of 5. In the hall of the Festival Center Post we show a short film program around the theme of water and afterwards there are lots of craft offers, music, waffles, cakes and disco.
Plus, you can take a look at the tricks of filmmaking and get your first experience with a green screen. And maybe Mo and Friese will come along in person...
