For the For(t) Freedom project, Kunstbende and the National Committee 4 and 5 May are looking for young, ambitious filmmakers, animators, and graphic designers who can tell their story about freedom. Together with a director, you will work on a short clip that no fewer than 1 million people will see at the Liberation Festivals! With more than 250 acts, the 14 Liberation Festivals on May 5th are the largest outdoor festival in the Netherlands. At the Liberation Festivals, we reflect on all countries living at war and celebrate the fact that we have been free in the Netherlands since May 5, 1945.

What is going to happen?
Any filmmaker between the ages of 16 and 25 can register for the project. Motivation and experience are important factors when registering. After the registration period, ten teams will be selected.

The process starts with a preparatory day during which the director designs the concept for the clips together with the teams. Ultimately, the clips will collectively form the ultimate short film about freedom.
Next, the teams will be taken to a secret location during the weekend of Friday afternoon, March 28, through Sunday, March 30. At that location, each team will have 36 hours to make the clip. All creative approaches are allowed. Do you dare to take on the challenge? Then sign up now!

How can you participate?
- You are between 16 and 25 years old
- You are alone or have a film crew of up to 4 people
- You are capable of making your own clip yourself or with your team
- You have at least 2 years of experience in film or graphic design
- You are available the entire weekend (and a preparation day)
