OFF – Denmark’s eldest and only Oscar- & EFA-qualifying film festival is now ready to announce the official selection for this years’ festival! A record-breaking total of 4129 short films found their way to OFF, and the festival’s pre- and selection juries has been working hard to find the 129 films that make up this year’s selection.

Selected for this year’s competition are 129 wild, provocative, ravishing, wistful and sharp short films, submitted from almost every corner of the world – from Tanzania to Poland, from Bolivia to Australia. A total number of 45 countries are represented in the competition programme this year, and we’re looking forward to welcoming each and every one of them at our festival in August 2023.

Personal relations. New beginnings. Worldwide changes. Whimsical animated lines and imaginative documentaries. The competition program’s 129 selected short films come from far and wide, both visually and in terms of content.
