Mut zur Utopie

Podiumsdiskussion

Panel discussion on the main topic with art historian and art theorist Sebastian Mühl (Utopias of Contemporary Art, 2020) and some of the filmmakers.

For years, exground filmfest has been one of the largest and most important film festivals in Hesse – with a very positive response far beyond the state's borders. Between 1990 and 2024, audience numbers rose by almost 650% to around 15,000. Every year, exground filmfest is not only an important attraction for film enthusiasts from near and far for ten days in November, but also an important discussion forum for around 250 accredited journalists, trade visitors and guests from the film industry – in other words, for important multipliers from within the industry and beyond.

In 2025, the festival will take place for the 38th time – reason enough to take a look back and review the most important developments since the founding of exground filmfest.
