OBERHAUSEN FILM FESTIVAL PROGRAM
Short film is still the prime source of innovation for the art of film - the experimental field in which future cinematic vocabularies first crystallize. Today its diversity of forms, themes and approaches across the globe is greater than ever - video or film, short fiction film or essay, installation, graduation film or artist's video, animation, documentary, and all imaginable hybrids thereof. The International Short Film Festival Oberhausen has been part of this highly charged field for over 50 years now. The programs presented at Flahertiana will show a broad range of brilliant films and videos from all over the world that have been part of the festivals competitions in recent years.
