Cinema is a battle against oblivion—a way to capture fleeting moments before they fade into nothingness. The Oblivion Frames Festival is dedicated to films that explore memory, time, and the ephemeral nature of existence. It is a tribute to the lost, the forgotten, and the overlooked—stories that slip through the cracks of history, only to be rediscovered through the lens of cinema.

At Oblivion Frames, we seek films that challenge perception, reconstruct memories, and give voice to those on the margins of time. Whether through experimental storytelling, archival footage, or deeply personal narratives, each selected film acts as a frame salvaged from oblivion, pieced together to form a mosaic of human experience.
