Festivalfocus : DISSONANCE
The OpenEyes Filmfest is known each year for its challenging yet entertaining program and its unparalleled open-air atmosphere.
Under the theme DISSONANCE, the 29th OpenEyes Filmfest explores the complex relationships between harmony and conflict.
All competition films interpret the festival theme in their own unique way. Whether through subtle nuances or stark contrasts, light-hearted humor, or deep seriousness—the festival’s films offer a wide range of perspectives.
For the first time, we have dedicated a second competition block to animated films, alongside powerful documentary and fictional works. The experimental films and music videos at OEFF2024 are distinguished not only by their focus on the central theme but also by their strong artistic originality.
The open-air program features films from all four competition categories.
The final competition block on Sunday evening delves deeply into this year’s festival focus.
The competition features films from 26 different production countries, ranging from low-budget productions to side projects by Hollywood filmmakers.
We are showcasing 22 films as German, European, or international premieres, along with 30 works that have already received multiple prestigious awards.
Nineteen films will be personally represented by attending filmmakers.
Experience a film festival of contrasts, where extraordinary films are screened under the open sky and presented in captivating thematic blocks.
Throughout the festival, attendees have the opportunity to vote for their favorites via an app or by ballot, helping to determine the festival winners in the four competition categories. All films screened at the festival are part of the international competition. The winning films are selected in four categories.
