We firmly believe that the diversity and inclusiveness of the film can bring more rich experience to the audience. The Aarhus film festival challenges the audience's perspective by stimulating thought through its diverse productions.

Our priority is to support creators who actively explore multiple narratives in the film industry and mainstream film festivals, giving them a platform to showcase their talents.

The Aarhus Film Festival provides a space for both veteran and emerging filmmakers to collaborate, learn and grow.

Panel discussions, symposiums, interviews and Q & a sessions are important components of the Aarhus film festival and are intended to promote in-depth dialogue on the theme of diversity.

Diversity is not only a slogan of the film festival, it is reflected in every part of our film festival, deeply into our planning and practice.

The Aarhus Festival also provides an opportunity for innovative filmmakers to interact and communicate, not just as“New faces” but as future filmmakers.

We believe that film is an important medium for expressing diversity and enriching narrative forms, and the Aarhus Film Festival aims to use these films to show new techniques and possibilities of cinematic art.

The Aarhus International Short Film Festival is a commitment to inclusiveness and diversity and is committed to being a pioneer in promoting equity and inclusiveness in the Film industry.

Whether a fledgling filmmaker or an already experienced creator, the Aarhus Film Festival provides a platform for collaboration and innovation, allowing filmmakers from different backgrounds to communicate and collide, push the boundaries of film art.

At Aarhus, we're not just looking for stories, we're looking for filmmakers who are willing to challenge the format and the language, and push the industry in a more inclusive and innovative direction.
