Short films have been an integral part of our festival since its inception: nearly every feature-length film is accompanied by a short film. Little treasures from all over the world come to Wiesbaden. Additionally, the selection committee’s favourite films can be seen in the BEST OF SHORTS program. In LIVING SPACES, we take a look at a variety of places, ranging from abandoned and desolate to extraordinarily beautiful. And the IRAN program can look back on a long tradition at exground filmfest: the films here will once again address the current situation in the theocracy.
