Submit a film clip

For the film project of the Department of Biology, we are looking for your film clips on biology at the University of Hamburg.

What should I keep in mind?

• we welcome contributions from staff and students of the Department
• films can be recorded on your mobile phone
• make sure to use landscape format
• short sequences or longer shots (or both) are acceptable

We are looking for films that cover a broad range of topics:

• studying, working, and everyday life at university
• films shot in the lecture halls, the library, labs, outside, on an internship or field trip
• impressions of study groups or departmental celebrations and events
• personal accounts on biology
• films illuminating research projects, subjects or methods

There are (almost) no limits to your creativity!

We’d also love to include films that have already been completed.

Whether you film an exciting discovery during a field trip, an interesting experiment in the lab, snippets of a conference or humorous incidents at work or at study—we look forward to your video impressions of researching and studying in the Department of Biology.

Here are some tips and tricks (German) for shooting the perfect film with your mobile phone. 

You can submit your film(s) using one of the following services. Which service you use will depend on the size of your clip.

Please also send us a Terms of Use agreement via email so that we can use your film(s) (see below).

What will you do with my film?

Our film team will edit all incoming films and very short film snippets, possibly combining them with other film clips, and add our film project intro. We will release the resulting films on the Department of Biology’s website throughout the year.

We need permission to use the films you submit, both from the film-maker(s) and all persons identifiable in the films.
