The Edition FABW of Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg is growing again in 2025. The short story volume “Schräg” (slanted, weird) is already the eleventh publication in the in-house series.
The book celebrates its premiere on Wednesday, April 23, 2025 at 7 p.m. in FABW's Albrecht Ade Studio. As usual, the volume “Schräg” brings together stories by students from the Academy of Performing Arts (ADK) and Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg. Once again, acting students from ADK will be entertainingly interpreting three selected stories. Filmakademie graduate Jannika Quaas is responsible for the dramaturgically and visually exciting staging. The evening will also be musically enriched by atmospheric compositions by Filmakademie graduate Sophia Sämann-Brandes and Torsten Brandes.
At the end of the evening, students and guests are invited to a get-together.
All interested parties are cordially invited, admission is free.
The current volume of short stories “Schräg” is also supported by the foundation Wüstenrot Stiftung. As usual, it is available in classic bookstores and online.

About the volume “Schräg”
“Schräg” is an inclined plane, but ‘schräg’ is much more than ‘slanted’. It adds a superordinate meaning to the pure description of the situation – namely, this ‘schräg’, which we use when we encounter a guy, a style or a statement that proudly and seemingly carefree flaunts nonconformity. “Schräg” is free, it lies beyond conformity and is, for the bourgeois middle, often attractively despairing. “Schräg” is a worthy topic to continue the successful series of short stories by Edition FABW - now with the eighth edition!
The theme of the next volume of Edition FABW has already been decided. It is: “Wendepunkt“ (turning point).
