Hungry Eyes Festival: Call for Short Films and Installation Art 2025 (Germany)

Open call repeated in coloured typeface.

Hungry eyes festival is looking for artistic works that question film in an interdisciplinary way for the 2025 edition, 24 October to 2 November in Gießen, Germany.

A programme consisting of short film series and installation works will explore what constitutes the medium film and how cinematographic elements and working methods can be translated into other media.

The festival wants to examine the extent to which film can provide political or social impulses, how films or projections can intervene in real existing spaces, which assumptions about (filmic) aesthetics can be turned upside down or what the relationship is between a repeatable two-dimensional film and an installation work with no time limit. From a ballet of overhead projectors to an exhibition with flipbooks to a silent film screening with VR-glasses, everything is possible.

The festival is looking for short films regardless of the year and country of production. It particularly welcomes submissions that reflect on the medium of film, deal with it in an experimental way, defy formal categorisation and/or see themselves as cinematic experiments. The duration must be maximum 20 minutes. The festival is also looking for installations that relate to film, image media, image spaces or projections in terms of content and/or form and can be realised in one of two spaces.

A fee of 150 EUR per film or 400 EUR per installation + 150 EUR per set-up and dismantling day will be provided. Technical equipment can be provided by prior arrangement. Travel and transportation costs as well as accommodation are covered for installation-artists.
