e-flux and International Short Film Festival Oberhausen have been collaborating since 2015, through the awarding of the e-flux Prize to exceptional film and video works which reshape the poetic and electric potential of moving images in the age of planetary circulation of information.
On May 1, 2020 they launched the joint online series From My Window / From Your Window, which borrows its title from Józef Robakowski's film From My Window (1978-1999). Taking this film as a starting point, the series presents classic shorts that have been influential to the history of experimental film, alongside brief video-letters by invited artists and filmmakers—as windows to our outside, and inside, worlds.
The International Short Film Festival Oberhausen is the oldest and most prestigious festival of its kind, founded in 1954.
e-flux is an online publishing platform and think tank, founded in 1999.
This joint screening series, organized by e-flux and the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, is inspired by Józef Robakowski's film Z mojego okna (From My Window).
