Moving Images - Open Borders (MIOB)

The passion for young cinema from Europe and the desire to give it a worthy platform unite the seven members of Moving Images - Open Borders (MIOB): Crossing Europe Filmfestival Linz (AT), Festival de Sevilla (ES), European Film Festival Palić (RS), Les Arcs European Film Festival (FR), Scanorama European Film Forum (LT), Trieste Film Festival (IT), FilmFestival Cottbus (DE). More than 100 years of competence and experience summed-up by the member festivals enable to discuss and further develop topics of the film future such as audience building, environmental and climate protection, gender and diversity programming and questions of digital communication. Presenting content with context, MIOB festivals embed movies into their historical context, collaborate with critics and foster the commentary of the directors. The initiative has been recognized and supported by the Creative Europe - MEDIA program of the European Union since fall 2020. In addition to the professional exchange of film festivals, MIOB naturally supports films and their makers. We invite you to discuss film topics here on MIOB’s LinkedIn page. Let’s exchange ideas and opinions.
