The International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, one of
the oldest and most renowned film festivals in the world,
has always been flexible in dealing with political and
aesthetic change, choosing its own standard of quality
against which the "short idea on celluloid" is to be
measured. A film doesn't win prizes in Oberhausen simply
for being well produced. A work must always be judged
against its own claim of being something new - regardless of
genre, production quality and budget. The decisive factor is
a film's position vis-Ã -vis social reality, cultural differences
and aesthetic innovation.
The Short Film Festival presents far more than a mere
medley of current short productions. One of the most
outstanding features of the Festival is the meticulousness
with which its programme is compiled. Individual works are
thus brought into relation to one another, ideas and trends
are elaborated and interaction rendered possible, leading to
a refreshingly new short film experience. Today, every
imaginable format of moving picture is presented in
Oberhausen, covering the entire spectrum of the short form.
The short film has long since shed its entertainment or
educational function as an opener to the main feature.
Instead, it now leads a very lively existence - extending far
beyond the confines of the cinema.
