International Short Film Festival Oberhausen
The International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, founded in 1954, is one of the oldest short film festivals in the world and one of the major international platforms for the short form. The festival holds an International Competition, German Competition and International Children’s and Youth Film Competition as well as the MuVi Award for best German music video and, since 2009, the NRW Competition for productions from the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Oberhausen is furthermore known today for its extensive thematic programmes such as “Unreal Asia” (2009), “From the Deep: The Great Experiment 1898–1918” (2010) and “Shooting Animals. A Brief History of Animal Film” (2011). The festival in addition offers visitors a well-equipped Video Library, operates a non-commercial short-film distribution service and owns an archive of short films from over 60 years of cinema history.
