Diametrale – Filmfestival for experimental, humouristic absurd movies

Festival 2024, 8. Ausgabe

Get out of the predictable, one-size-fits-all entertainment deserts and walk into the paradise for the beautiful and weird! Apart from cinematic, aesthetic and social conventions, we have strung together the most dazzling moving image pearls for you to create a cinematic eye-catcher - the 8th edition of DIAMETRALE.

Marvel with us at shrill bad-taste icons, fairy-tale revenge plots, grotesque (nightmare) dream worlds, sparkling psychonaut trips and outlandish superhero stories. In addition to the funny, sensual and lunar short film kaleidoscopes, lectures and talks - including the 50th anniversary of the local satire classic DER UNTERGANG DES ALPENLANDES (THE DOWNFALL OF THE ALPINE LAND) in the presence of Oscar nominee Christian Berger - promise to be very special detours into the film universe.

A film festival for all those who like to be surprised and celebrate the absurd with us, because “absurdity is the only possible way”. (TB)

Useless & beautiful

Welcome to the oasis of the absurd, the refuge of the fantastic, the paradise of the most interesting mix: beautiful-dorky! DIAMETRALE opens its doors for the 6th time and your synapses for a deep-sea dive in the direction of useless and beautiful. Jump with us into the refreshing water of unusual moving image worlds beyond cinematic, aesthetic & societal conventions and dream in the cinema darkness, what is possible behind the supposed everyday logic. Along the itinerary lie insular rave temples and Japanese pink musicals, micro-horror and dark teenage nostalgia, funny and pleasurable short film kaleidoscopes, meaty talks and lectures, regionally grown film blossoms and fluid-poetic gender glitter landscapes. A film festival for all those who like to be surprised and celebrate the absurd with us, because “absurdity is the only possible way.” (TB)

DIAMETRALE film festival is organized by DIAMETRALE – Verein zur Förderung experimenteller und komischer FilmKunst – and Kulturkollektiv Contrapunkt , in collaboration with Leokino Innsbruck .
