EFF is an international film festival for unconventional independent film, organised at several vibrant locations in Eindhoven (NL).
In a world that is rapidly changing, we feel it’s important to move along. As a festival, we focus on the experience and like to challenge our audience as well as makers to question the medium film, in order to stimulate innovative productions that really wow.
We love to show the diversity of the medium. Therefore, we’re always looking for films and moving images that question the boundaries of traditional filmmaking.
At our festival we show unconventional independent films varying from experimental shorts to breath-taking documentaries. We are very proud to present the work of talented filmmakers from all over the world. Besides an extensive film programme, you can enjoy a broad variety of film-related extras like live film scores, workshops and talks and exhibitions.
At Eindhoven Film Festival we:
• Like to be catalysers for innovation in film by mixing various disciplines and encouraging filmmakers to experiment regardless of traditions and clichés. We see the festival as a playground/laboratory where filmmakers, as well as the audience, are encouraged to make the imaginable possible.
• Want to redesign the way we experience film in collaboration with the filmmakers as well as the audience.
• Want to turn Eindhoven into a furtive breeding ground for innovative film productions, national as well as international.
• Aim to broaden people's perspective on society by showing unconventional (fictive/(hyper)real) stories straight from the heart of the filmmakers.
• Strive for inclusiveness. Eindhoven counts about 150 nationalities. We feel it’s important that the different cultures in Eindhoven feel at home and represented at the festival.
Everyone is a winner!
All the work we show at our festival deserves a prize. We feel it's important to present the films and give makers and oppurtunity to shine at our festival.
It's not about the awards it is about the stories makers have to tell and share with us.
