In 2009 the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen showed its first programme created entirely by the filmmakers themselves: “Open Screening”.

Here all filmmakers who submitted a work for the competitions that did not make the shortlist still have the opportunity to present their film at the festival.

Condition is: The title must be presented in person by the filmmaker. Each filmmaker may present only one work. Screening format is DVD.

To join the Open Screning you have to send an application. The application deadline begins with the announcement of the competition selections in mid-March 2010. The programme is limited and the films will be added to the line-up in the order received.

Many thanks for your participation. The whole programme is complete. We will inform the participating directors by mail till 22nd March.
