ONE HORIZON is an open and free platform for all cultures, religions and nations. It claims to broaden people's horizons and to open up new perspectives on the current refugee situation through openness and togetherness. Movies of refugees and the escape issue are creatively staged during the festival.
For the first time, ONE HORIZON took place on July 22th + 23th 2017. This event was also a special one because it had never existed in Germany that way before.
The film festival was organized by a group of students as part of a study project of the Lutheran University of Applied Sciences Ludwigsburg, led by Sebastian Weimann, an independent filmmaker and the initiator of the film festival. It was very important to everyone to set up this project together as it combines social work with the film industry.
The film festival also wanted to provide an opportunity to network and promote open and inclusive thinking. They have made a difference and created a weekend to remember for a long time.
In 2019 it is time again!
