OBERHAUSEN INTERNATIONAL SHORT FILM FESTIVAL

The Oberhausen International Short Film Festival was founded in 1954 and is the oldest and largest short film forum in the world. It is held annually in Oberhausen, Germany. In 2013, the organisers of the festival launched a special Archive section to bring some attention to an often neglected subject: archiving and restoring experimental films. This year, the section includes a curated screening of video artworks from CYLAND VIDEO ARCHIVE, Russia’s first open online video collection.

The artists whose works are participating in the screening: Boris Kazakov (Russia), Polina Kanis (Russia), Sid Iandovka and Anya Tsyrlina (USA/Switzerland), Dmitri Lurie (Norway).

Screening curator: Victoria Ilyushkina
