ABOUT OEFF

With their passion for thrillers, poetry and documentaries, the Orient Express Film Days and Culture Weeks take you to Turkey, Kurdistan, Syria, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, Iran, Afghanistan, Greece, Switzerland and European countries. The festival builds bridges between countries, promotes cultural exchange and, in its fourth edition, encourages reflection on freedom, hope and ecology. The films illuminate devastated landscapes, show family structures shaped by environmental destruction, the will to power and change in times of war and give hope for a better future. With the participation of numerous filmmakers and artists, the Orient Express Film Festival and Culture Weeks offer an exciting program of discoveries and meaningful cinematic expressions.

A supporting program with concerts, workshops and panel discussions complements the film screenings and offers additional opportunities for networking.
