Oldenburg International Film Festival

Oldenburg, Germany


In 2021, “The Biggest Little Fest In Europe” was heralded as "One of the World's Leading Indie Film Fests"- The Hollywood Reporter

Rated among the top 5 Film Festivals worldwide for Independent Films by American film critic Chris Gore in his esteemed “Ultimate Film Festival Guide”, and ranked “Top 25 Coolest Festivals in the World” by MovieMaker, Oldenburg has fostered its success with a strong commitment to innovative and Independent filmmaking.

“If there's anything that could be considered the Promised Land of Independent Cinema in Europe today, it is Oldenburg.” - Accred - L'actualité des festivals de cinéma

Labelled ‘the German Sundance’ by Variety, Hollywood Reporter, and Screen International, amongst others, Oldenburg has evolved while preserving its intimate atmosphere and founding purpose: to celebrate and support the diverse voices and visions of independent filmmakers, to honor the creativity of the artists upon which the Festival depends, and to create a unique experience and inspiring meeting place for filmmakers, audiences, and media professionals.

“Oldenburg - renown for its determination, cinephilia, and openness for the extremes - impresses with its brilliant programming.” - GRIP

Additionally, in an effort to raise awareness and build bridges between worlds through the common language of film, Oldenburg is the only Film Festival in the world that annually screens part of its regular program to incarcerated individuals who share the experience with members of the general public in an actual high-security Prison environment, known as ‘The Alcatraz of the North’.

“Oldenburg thrives as a discovery channel.” - Screen International

In addition to supporting the discovery of new artists, Oldenburg has hosted the German Premieres of films by such acclaimed filmmakers as Darren Aronofsky, Brian De Palma, Steven Soderbergh, Michael Polish, Johnnie To, Chan-wook Park, Monte Hellmann, & Takeshi Kitano amongst others. Guests of honor have included Jim McBride, Larry Clark, Philippe de Broca, Andrzej Zulawski, Ken Russell, Jerry Schatzberg, James Toback, Radley Metzger, Ted Kotcheff, Phedon Papmichael, George Armitage, Christophe Honoré, Edward R. Pressman, Bruce Robinson, William Freidkin, Ovidio Assonitis, and Peter & John Hyams who have all attended the festival for Retrospectives of their work.

“Just as impressive as the films was the festival itself, which, under the inspired direction of Torsten Neumann, combined intelligent cinephilia with a laid-back atmosphere of democratic equality.” - Sight and Sound

Nicolas Cage, Seymour Cassel, Asia Argento, Keira Knightley, Deborah Kara Unger, Mira Sorvino, Bobcat Goldthwait, Michael Wadleigh, Joanna Cassidy, Luke Wilson, Ben Gazzara, Stacy Keach, Amanda Plummer, Keith Carradine, Matthew Modine, Sean Baker, Andrea Rau, Mattie Do & Noémie Merlant are amongst many who have attended as honored guests or for Tributes in their honor.

“Alongside Venice and Toronto, Oldenburg is considered one of the most important Autumn Festivals for Independent Cinema” - de Telegraaf

Rated #1 in Germany on The Most Important Autumn Film Festivals List for and by the German Film Industry (Blickpunkt Film), and #3 internationally after Venice & TIFF, Oldenburg is regarded as “one of the most important European festivals for independent cinema" (Tagesschau).

“Oldenburg is a pilgrimage for cineastes.”- Die Zeit

PVTV Fringe Flicks

Liverpool, United Kingdom


People Versus TV (PVTV) invites filmmakers, video artists, and creators of all stripes to submit their films for Season 3 of our Fringe Flicks series!

We’re on the lookout for unconventional work that defies norms and embraces the subversive, absurd, and surreal. Whether you’re a seasoned filmmaker or just starting out, we want to see your bold and boundary-pushing creations.

What We’re Looking For

We’re passionate about work that’s:

- Weird, anarchic, and fun

- Absurdist, surreal, or experimental

- Satirical and subversive, especially satire that punches up

We encourage submissions from artists at any stage of their career, and we’re particularly interested in amplifying voices from underrepresented communities.

Why Submit to Fringe Flicks?

Fringe Flicks is not just a screening series—it’s a celebration of avant-garde, experimental, and boundary-pushing work in the moving image. By participating, your film will:

- Be showcased alongside like-minded creators in Liverpool, at the heart of the city’s creative and cultural Fabric District.

- Reach an audience eager for unique, challenging, and unconventional content.

- Have the chance to spark meaningful conversations with a vibrant and engaged community of cinephiles and creatives.

Event Details

Selected films will be shown at our Fringe Flicks Season 3 events, starting with 5th June 2025 at DoES Liverpool, with further events planned for August and October (dates to be confirmed).

Submissions are open now and close on 2nd April 2025. Notifications will be sent by 23rd April 2025.

All screenings are held at DoES Liverpool, 1st Floor, The Tapestry, 68-76 Kempston St, Liverpool, L3 8HL.

Event Structure

Each Fringe Flicks night is a curated mix of independent and experimental short films, divided into two halves with an intermission:

- First Half: A selection of shorter films showcasing creativity, experimentation, and storytelling.

- Second Half: A featured short film and longer works. If we select a feature film from this callout, it will be showcased in the second half.

The bar will remain open after the screenings, providing an excellent opportunity for filmmakers and audience members to connect, network, and share their thoughts.

What We Value

We’re focused on imagination and creativity over technical perfection, especially for shorter works. While longer works should exhibit high-quality storytelling, we’re less concerned with technical polish and more with the strength of your script, dialogue, and narrative.

Future Opportunities

If your work isn’t selected for one of our upcoming events, we may still consider it for future screenings. In that case, we’ll contact you first to confirm your interest.

How to Submit

Submissions are open exclusively on Festhome.

Submissions are open now and close on 2nd April 2025.

Contact Information:

For questions, please email us at peopleversustv@gmail.com.

We can’t wait to see your work and celebrate the unconventional, the surreal, and the absurd with you!

INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL FOR THE ELDERLY

Barcelona, Spain


La GRAN pantalla is an intergenerational cinematographic meeting space that seeks to dismantle stereotypes about older people through cinema. We look for stories that allow us to generate new readings and discourses about older people, beyond the conventional representations that are usually associated with this stage of life.

La GRAN pantalla seeks to delve into topics such as the sexuality of older people, the digital divide, unwanted loneliness, palliative care, intergenerational dialogues, cohousing, LGBTIQ+ older people, dignified death, migrant older people and all the visions that this population group may have about contemporary social problems such as the climate crisis, demographic change, new forms of families and organization, international conflicts, urban planning, art and social change, etc.

The seventh edition of this contest will take place from 1 to 6 July 2025 in the city of Barcelona with a showing in Mollet del Vallès and Sabadell (Catalonia).

La GRAN pantalla is an original idea of elParlante, an organization specialized in the design, implementation, and evaluation of communication strategies. For some years now, elParlante has been developing social projects for older people through theater, audiovisuals and formal education.

For so long, "urban" has been seen as an extension of “black”, “underground”, “other”, “unworthy”.

We know that in every walk of life urban culture, more than ever, is revered as trend setting, forward-thinking, inclusive and innovative.

This is the reason why BAFTA, BIFA, AMAA and our industry festival partners (including Iris Prize) have officially recognised BUFF - giving our filmmakers direct opportunities to qualify for film awards. BUFF is the longest standing black-owned film festival in the United Kingdom. Founded by Emmanuel Anyiam-Osigwe MBE, filmmakers that have exhibited at our festival are now household names. Join the legacy and explore new worlds at BUFF.

why I should submit to the leading film festival in the UK for diverse programming?

At the British Urban Film Festival, we have been a pioneering platform for all facets of diversity since our formation in 2005.

Long before diversity quotas and terminology such as BAME and non-binary, we have always welcomed, showcased, given coverage to and awarded films which embrace diverse storytelling, celebrating filmmakers from diverse backgrounds representative of the 9 diversity strands:

age. disability. gender reassignment.
marriage and civil partnership. pregnancy and maternity. race.
religion or belief. sex.

The Cannes International Pan African Film Festival

Cannes, France


The International “Festival International du Film Panafricain” (FIFP) in Cannes is a platform that exhibits cinema and its professions, arts and entrepreneurship, as well as innovation, culture and events.

The FIFP was created and founded by Mr. Eitel Basile NGANGUE EBELLE and the “Association Nord Sud Développement, agréée jeunesse et Education Populaire Ministère de la santé, de la jeunesse et des sports n° 06514”.

As a driving force behind the PanAfrican Cinema and Arts industry, the Festival is constantly seeking specific solutions for the development of PanAfrican Cinema and Arts.
With a booming Pan-African market (from Africa to the Americas through the Caribbean, Europe and Asia), the Festival benefits from expertise in the development of cinema and Fashion as well as the development of cultural affairs.

Since its creation in 2006, the DIKALO AWARDS (meaning « message » in the Cameroonian language Douala) has been awarded by a professional jury for the best short and feature films (fiction), the best long and short documentaries, the Dikalos Peace Award, as well as the best actor and actress awards.

The FIFP is a felt moment. It is a unique experience where PanAfrican cinema and African cultures and those of its diaspora around the world are the central focus. An exceptional energy is felt.

Since 2018, the FIFP in Cannes has included along with its projections, a market: the Entrepreneurship Salon for Culture and Well-Being. The objective is to enhance the economy of PanAfrican cinema.

A few years from now, the market which features pan-African arts will generate considerable sums. « Tomorrow is now ». This enormous potential must be brought forward into the light.

Such an “active dream” is an ideal that has made Africans and their diaspora what it is today. This was Mandela’s and Obama’s vehicle, as well as many others…

Pan-Africanism is an aggregate of universalism. It contains all of the lights, those of ancient Egypt and those of the future. In short, a constant beauty.
