New Shorts, Clips, Children's Films and Robert Van Ackeren

The 2001 film distribution programme of the International Short Film 
Festival Oberhausen offers around 70 new short films and videos as well as 
some rarities, such as early short films by German filmmaker Robert Van 
Ackeren, prints of which were made especially for the Festival. For the 
first time, it includes a children's film reel. The catalogue is available 
now and can be ordered at the festival office: info at kurzfilmtage.de

Every year, the Festival selects works from the ca 450 films of the 
festival programmes, buys them for non-commercial distribution and sends 
them around the world. The distribution catalogue 2001 offers not only a 
selection of award winners and other highlights from the competitions, but 
also the third MuVi reel with all the nominees for the MuVi Award 2001 as 
well as a selection of works from the highly appreciated Special Programme 
"Out of Time."

With the early short films by Robert van Ackeren the short film 
distribution offers a truly unique programme: for 30 years those films were 
considered lost, the prints that are now distributed have been made 
especially for the 47th International Short Film Festival Oberhausen 2001 
and are thus the only existing prints of those films. A further novelty is 
a children's short film reel for five-to-eight-year-olds, compiled in 
cooperation with the German Children's Films & Television Festival 
"Goldener Spatz" in Gera. This reel is also available for commercial 
distribution in Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
