Film Festival
Humanity faces one of its greatest challenges in the 21st century. With this year's BEYOND FILM FESTIVAL – UTOPIA, DYSTOPIA, COMEDY, we highlight current societal crises, the opportunities and dangers of artificial intelligence, and the impending ecological collapse. These transformations affect not only the nature in which we live but also our economic, political, and social systems.
Founded by the Schopflocher media artist and filmmaker Ludger Pfanz and director Gülsel Özkan at the Karlsruhe ZKM, the festival is dedicated to the theme of “Future Design.” The term “Future Design” is ambiguous. On one hand, it can be understood as designing the future, and on the other, as shaping the future. In the case of the “Beyond Festival,” both meanings are intended. At BEYOND, artists not only showcase the latest films and media artworks but also present new narratives for the future that go beyond the imitation of life as we know it, attempting to resolve the antagonism between nature and technology.
