The Bitfilm Festival specialises in digital film and new media and will take place for the fourth time in a row this year. What is new, however, is that the Bitfilm Festival will be held in close cooperation with the Filmfestival Hamburg.

It promotes films that use digital technology creatively, ranging from 3D animated feature films to Flash movies on the internet to 30-second clips that work well even on the small displays of video capable mobile phones.
