Oberhausen expanded its market in 2006 by adding a series of Screenings where selected international distributors of experimental and artistic short films were given the opportunity to present their current line-ups. The success was overwhelming: The theatres were packed from the first day onward. The programme rapidly established itself as the world’s largest showcase for artists’ film and video distributors and is today a not-to-be-missed event on the calendars of many festival representatives, curators and buyers. 

The Screenings will continue in 2012 (27 - 30 April) with the following partners:

Argos, Centre for Art and Media (Belgium)  
Arsenal – Institute for Film and Video Art (Germany)
