UNERHÖRT! is a Hamburg-based film festival dedicated to celebrating music films—cinematic works where music takes center stage as the primary subject. We welcome a diverse range of submissions, including:
- Documentaries that delve into musical genres, movements, or individual artists.
- Biopics portraying the lives of musicians.
- Concert films capturing live performances.
- Musicals and opera films.
Our mission is to curate programs that create a dynamic fusion of sound and visuals, offering experiences that reflect the cultural and political contexts in which music and films evolve. We aim to foster dialogue among filmmakers, musicians, and audiences, contributing to meaningful conversations about the films we screen and the music we celebrate.
In 2025, all selected films produced from 2022 onwards will compete for the UNERHÖRT! Best Music Film Award, which includes a monetary prize.
