71 International Short Film Festival Oberhausen: International competition
 

The world's oldest short film competition is a forum for experiments, unusual content and formats, and the place for cinematic discoveries, regardless of genre and production country. Every year, filmmakers from over 40 countries present themselves here. Only international festival premieres are admitted to this competition. The professional audience researches new films here, and a premiere shown in this competition is often a springboard for selection at other festivals - not least for the Oscar.

 

Filmmakers from all over the world are invited to present their work in person. The International Short Film Festival Oberhausen appoints its own selection committee and juries for this competition, in which the traditional Grand Prize of the City of Oberhausen is awarded.

 

The Jury of the International Competition 2025:

 

Elisabeth Streit

Antti Alanen

Susanna Wallin

Bea de Visser

Philbert Aimé Mbabazi Sharangabo
