Since 1989, the Oberhausen Market has offered buyers, festival representatives and other trade visitors a look at the current state of worldwide short film production in a concentrated atmosphere, and to select works for their own use.

In addition to the Festival Catalogue, Oberhausen also publishes an extensive Market Catalogue each year containing crew and genre information, brief descriptions in two languages and contact addresses for each film submitted, as well as separate overviews of film schools in Germany and music videos. Indexes organized by titel, genre, director and running time facilitate working with the catalogue. The Market has established an international reputation as the largest market for German-produced short films, as well as films and videos of the most diverse formats and genres.  

The Market Catalogue was made available online for the first time in 2001. This provides industry representatives with an opportunity not only to obtain information on available films prior to the festival, but also during the rest of the year. Today, the online Catalogue contains the Market Catalogues 1997 to 2005, featuring more than 40,000 shortfilms and growing annually by the addition of Market Catalogues of future festivals. 

Access to the online catalogue is password-restricted. To obtain a password and if you have any questions or require further information, please contact Hilke Doering
