The Super8000 Film Festival is non-competitive event, exhibiting short films from the best European talents and inviting exciting keynote speakers to join the reflection on how to rethink the way we tell stories for the big screen. The festival is part of European Culture Capital - Aarhus 2017.
The Super8000 Film Festival looks for upcoming talents who have not yet broken through as established and professional filmmakers. Super8000 invites European talents and professionals to meet each other in an atmosphere of trust, offering reflections on the way we use and interpret genre and the narrative form.
The festival takes place 23-29 of October, and consists of two events: a micro-experimental, five-day workshop for selected European film talents, that overlaps with a major three-day exhibition, hosted by the art house cinema East of Eden (Øst for Paradis).
Be part of the Super8000 Film Festival, submit your work or join us in rethinking storytelling!
Super8000 calls for an atmosphere of trust, curiosity and what we can learn from each other, and therefore, the classical element of competition is dispensed. However, Super8000 wants to recognize and celebrate filmmakers who have incorporated bold and surprising elements of rethinking within storytelling in their works. Therefore, the jury will select 4 winners among all the films screened at the festival, to receive the Super8000 Rethink Award, which includes a separate screening opportunity at a prominent venue, where the work will be exhibited to a large audience.
