At the intersection of film, performance and visual arts, the hungry eyes festival is a periodic event taking place at the Institute for Applied Theatre Studies in Gießen since 2016. Last time, in November 2023, the curatorial team looked back to explore their conceptual roots – experimental short films – and sift through a plethora of international submissions during the last couple of years.

This year, the programme goes on tour with seven short film favourites, which will also be screened in Linz in November 2024. Alongside presenting the films, the curatorial team is going to introduce the idea of festival and is looking forward to getting to talk to the audience while having a drink after the screening.

Program:

“Why the Birds?” by Tomás de Souza

*Statement of the artists: „Qigemu (April Lin 林森 and Jas Lin 林思穎) have decided to withdraw their film „Reality Fragment 160921″ in support of STRIKE GERMANY’s call to withhold labour and presence from institutions supported by German cultural funding. This boycott is in protest of said institutions‘ censorship of expressions of solidarity with Palestine. [original phrase redacted by request of hungry eyes].“ Further information about the films and artists as well as the full statement on the website of hungry eyes festvial: hungryeyesfestival.de/programm

All films will be shown in the original version. If the spoken language is not English, the film is subtitled in English.
