In the course of more than five decades, the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen has become one of the world’s most respected film events – a place where filmmakers and artists ranging from Roman Polanski to Cate Shortland, from George Lucas to Pipilotti Rist have presented their first films. Oberhausen has managed to instigate various political and aesthetical developments, for instance through the Oberhausen Manifesto, perhaps the most important group document in the history of German film. Careful programming and a pioneering choice of subjects has helped the Festival to build up its exclusive position in an increasingly unpredictable market.
Olaf Stuber’s “Videoart at Midnight Edition” will present N° 9: Ming Wong KONTAKTHOPE, 2010 (May 2); N° 13: Mathilde ter Heijne LAMENT, SONG FOR TRANSITIONS, 2014, (May 3); N° 12: Shingo Yoshida ERROR, 2013, (May 4); N° 11: Andy Graydon VOSTOK, FARETHEEWELL, 2011, (May 5). Each work will exclusively be installed for one night in the Studio Cinema of the Lichtburg Film Theatre.
