Director Peter Dörfler, (The Big Eden, Achterbahn), winner of the German Film Critics Award 2009, will artistically supervise the students).

Each selected team of students will receive €2000 for their research and a budget for the shooting of the footage. Additionally, the production house will cover all expenses for travel and accommodation.
