Twelve years of Randfilmfest = Twelve years of wild and radical cinema, visionary film art, provocative themes and concepts, unusual screenings and strange formats.

This year, too, we want to lead our audience astray, plunge them into the abyss, set them on the wrong track, let them discover something new or open up unusual perspectives. Even after twelve years of festival work, we still love cinema, the big screen and unusual ways of seeing and listening.
