Key Information about Tickets and Programmes

Oberhausen is all about discovery: Let yourself be captivated by visual worlds that are new and different, and watch films that overwhelm, provoke thought and inspire. From all over the world, always in their original language, and often in the presence of the filmmakers.

For six days, we screen films in the five cinemas at the Filmpalast Lichtburg in Oberhausen and at the Walzenlagerkino, a cosy little cinema in Zentrum Altenberg. A ticket is always valid for an entire programme, which is roughly the length of a feature film, so it offers the chance to see several films at once.

All films are shown in their original language. The festival always provides at least an English translation, either as subtitles or as a voice-over via headphones. In the Children’s and Youth Cinema, all films also feature a German translation.

In the competitions, we showcase the latest short films from around the world. If you’re interested in current issues, want to know where short films are being made, and how diverse they can be, this is the place for you. The themed programmes have been compiled by various curators. This year’s focus is on reality and fiction in film. Or on omnibus films. Or on the outtakes from Claude Lanzmann’s Shoah. Or on discoveries from our archive. Or on music videos – and much more.

Tickets?

Simply book online via our programme page; clicking on your chosen programme takes you straight to the ticket purchase page. A single ticket costs 8 euros; with the 10-ticket pass for 40 euros, each programme costs just 4 euros. Tickets are also available at the box office at the Lichtburg and the Walzenlager – provided, of course, that the screening isn’t sold out.

We hope you enjoy the festival experience!
