Enter the Festival here

The festival theme is referring to 5th Anniversary of CologneOFF and its unsually successful concept as a festival context withouit a static festival location. Since its foundation in 2006, CologneOFF is conceptionally based in Internet, but conquered from this virtual place the physical world whith engaged programs of experimental film and video art. Some of the most successful young film & video artists started their career on CologneOFF before they became successful.

The 6th festival edition in sequence invited an international jury consisting of

  • Margarida Paiva (Oslo Screen Festival Norway)
  • Gioula Papadopoulou (Videoart Festival Miden Greece)
  • Macu Moran (Video Art World, Spain)
  • Giorgio Fedeli (Visual Container /Italy)
  • Jonas Nilsson/Eva Olsson (Art: Screen & Orebro International Videoart Festival/Sweden)
  • Mohammed Allam (Medrar Video Festival/ Egypt),
  • Tamas Gabeli (Budapest International Shortfilm Festival/Hungary)
  • .
    who selected among 80 nominated artists
