Das ERNTE SEHEN Filmfestival geht 2024 in die vierte Runde und ist hiermit für Einreichungen geöffnet.
Die ERNTE steht unter dem Dach der Interdisziplinarität. Der Fokus liegt, wie schon bei der Gründung des Festivals, auf der Vereinigung von Musik und visueller Kunst.

Deshalb findet das Filmfestival dieses Jahr als Take Off Veranstaltung am Donnerstag den 11.07.2024 statt. Neben dem Festivalteil, der wie die letzten Jahre bei Schönwetter auf der Outdoor Bühne am Griessner Stadl in Stadl an der Mur statt finden wird, gibt es wieder eine Lichtperformance, Verpflegung und Live Musik, welche ab Freitag in das dreitägige Ernte Festival führen.
Neben internationalen FilmemacherInnen und MusikerInnen, bietet das Festival auch heuer wieder Bühne für heimische KünstlerInnen und vereint wie gewohnt das Urbane mit dem Ländlichen.

Die Filme der diesjährigen Ernte werden wieder von einer Fachjury, welche im Laufe des Jahres bekannt gegeben wird, gesichtet und in ein Festivalprogramm kuratiert.

Das ERNTE Festival lebt von Interaktion, deswegen freuen wir uns unter den selektierten Filmen viele FilmemacherInnen vor Ort begrüßen zu dürfen.

Zum Festivalablauf:

Gezeigt werden Kurzfilme aus allen Genres und Ländern.
Thematische Einschränkung gibt es hierbei keine, lediglich die maximale Länge von 10 Minuten soll nicht überschritten werden.

Wir möchten keine thematischen Beschränkungen vorgeben, sondern dazu einladen, den Film als Medium weiterzudenken und eventuelle Normen und Grenzen zu ignorieren.
Gezeigt werden die Formate digital, Super 8 und 16mm.

Ein Moderationsteam führt durch das Festival und leitet Künstler*innengespräche und Q&As auf der Bühne. Die dadurch entstehende direkte Interaktion mit Filmschaffenden und Künstler*innen aus aller Welt, ist für uns eine willkommene Form, das Festival einer internationalen Bühne vorzustellen. Die ausgewählten Filmemacher*innen werden eingeladen persönlich oder interaktiv an dem Festival teilzunehmen.

Mit dem ERNTE SEHEN Filmfestival möchten wir aufzeigen dass Zeiten von Krisen auch willkommene Denkanstöße für neue Ideen sein können.
Die Regeln müssen erst gesehen werden, um gebrochen zu werden.

ERNTE gut, Alles gut.

__________________________________

The ERNTE SEHEN film festival enters its fourth round in 2024 and is hereby open for submissions.
The focus of this year's ERNTE is lays on interdisciplinarity. The goal, as it was when the festival was founded, is on uniting music and visual art.

Therefore, this year the film festival will take place as a take off event on Thursday 11.07.2024. In addition to the film festival part, which will take place in fair weather on the outdoor stage at the Griessner Stadl in Stadl an der Mur as in the past years, there will again be a light performance, catering and music, which will lead into the three-day ERNTE Festival from Friday to Sunday.
In addition to hosting international filmmakers and musicians, this year's festival will once again offer a stage for local artists and, as usual, combine the urban with the rural.

The films of this year's ERNTE will again be screened by a jury of experts, which will be announced in the course of the year, and curated into a festival programme.

The ERNTE festival thrives on interaction, which is why we are looking forward to welcoming many filmmakers on location among the selected films.

The festival programme:

Short films from all genres and countries will be shown.
There are no thematic restrictions, only the maximum length of 10 minutes shall not be exceeded.

We do not want to impose any thematic restrictions, but invite you to think about film as a medium and to ignore any norms and boundaries.
Digital, Super 8 and 16mm formats will be shown.

A moderation team will lead through the festival and conduct artist talks and Q&As on stage. The resulting direct interaction with filmmakers and artists from all over the world is a welcome way for us to introduce the festival to an international audience. The selected filmmakers will be invited to participate personally or interactively in the festival.

With the ERNTE SEHEN film festival we want to show that times of crisis can also be welcome food for thought for new ideas.
The rules have to be seen to be broken.

ERNTE GUT, ALLES GUT

All films selected will be awarded with an 2024 Official Selection Laurel.
This year we decided to not have a festivalwinner as the main focus goes back to having a festival for the exchange of arts and music and in that matter, it wouldn't be appropriate to choose someone as "best of something".

There are no thematical frontiers. Send us everything you believe falls under the topic "extending the rules and breaking borders". Play with the medium film, extend.
Only the maximum length of 10 minutes shall not be exceeded.

By submitting to ERNTE Sehen 2024 you agree that your film, if selected, will be shown at the ERNTE Sehen Festival on the 11th of July 2024 and that you have all the rights of showing your material to a crowd in Austria.

    The is a very friendly festival held in what looks like a spectacular outdoor setting. My participation was via online screening and remote Q & A interview. The team is friendly and showed genuine insight about the unique selection of films they programmed.
