Save the Date – Night of Shame on May 9, 2025!

The Night of Shame is the curated film show that celebrates filmmakers’ worst! From charmingly incompetent to all out shameful – established directors from all over the world excavate their questionable films and submit them to the fascinated gaze of a live audience.

The Studio Seufz Event (powered by Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg‘s Animationsinstitut, supported by AMCRS) takes place on Friday, May 9, 2025 at 20:30 CET – during Stuttgart Animated Week (aka ITFS (May 6-11, 2025), FMX (May 6-9, 2025) and APD (May 6-8, 2025)) – at a new location, the Kulturwerk in Stuttgart (Ostendstr. 106 A, 70188 Stuttgart).
