Tarta Relena

Have age-old music traditions become outdated and fallen out of time? Catalan vocal duo Tarta Relena proves the opposite: originating from their Spanish homeland, the two young women trawl the entire Mediterranean region from Southern France to Italy and North Africa for songs to which they give synthesiser sounds and beats for their different and yet intertwined voices with incredible creativity. This mix generates enthusiasm worldwide whether at big festivals or at the legendary »NPR Tiny Desk Concert«.

Hana Chang studies at the prestigious Kronberg Academy under star violinist Christian Tetzlaff and is well on her way to becoming a star herself. The violinist, born in the USA, has already given concerts worldwide and won major awards, as most recently in the Queen Elisabeth Competition. Hana Chang brings a sonata by Mozart to the Laeiszhalle, which the composer once wrote for a similarly young, prominent virtuoso. After a fairy-tale, dreamy piece by Tōru Takemitsu, there follows Brahms’ popular third and final violin sonata in closing.

The Epic Adventure of a Hedgehog

The hedgehog is threatened with extinction and is experiencing a veritable exodus from the countryside. Due to our intensive farming practices, this small animal, which is more than 60 million years old, is being forced to leave its natural habitat and migrate to urban green spaces in search of food. The film follows a young hedgehog whose adaptability is regularly put to the test. Through our heroine's adventures, this animal fairy tale gives us insight into human activities that affect the environment and change our ecosystems.

A jury of experts from the fields of nature conservation, media, science, and culture selected the winners in the categories of wildlife, biodiversity, nature conservation, and storytelling. But cinema-goers also have the opportunity to rate the films. They chose the best short film and will decide on the audience award, which will be presented for the first time in 2026.
