39. Stuttgarter Filmwinter — Festival for Expanded Media

38th Stuttgarter Filmwinter 2025

The 2025 edition of the Stuttgarter Filmwinter took place in January 2025, bringing international experimental film art, Expanded Media works, short film competitions, and live acts to Stuttgart-Mitte, as it does every year. The three venues — FITZ! in the Tagblatt-Turm-Areal, the Theater tri-bühne, and KUNSTBEZIRK — jointly presented a dense program of screenings, performances, and workshops.

As always, the international open calls for short films, 2-minute shorts, Expanded Media, and music videos (Buggles Award) attracted thousands of submissions. The award ceremonies and opening events were the social highlights of the festival — a meeting of Stuttgart's art scene with the international avant-garde film world.
