For the third consecutive year, the OBSKURA festival is launching its call for entries !

Initiated by Zero de Conduite and Labo K, the OBSKURA festival celebrates contemporary analog film practices around the world.

The festival will be held between the 28th of june and the 1st of July 2023 at the Théâtre National de Bretagne and La Parcheminerie, in Rennes, France.

We wish to show films that elude common framework, play to our senses and reimagine reality through their formal expression. OBSKURA also explores other perceptions and narratives with film performances.

We are looking forward to your film proposals with enthusiasm !
