Eye to Cinema Festival

Bogotá y Bucaramanga, Colombia


Our principle is anthropophagic and cannibalistic. Kinesyphilis is a disease that we suffer from and with which we commit ourselves. Our interest: to eat and digest cinema from the south.

This festival was founded to open another door in the festival scene in Colombia. To think, watch, listen and read the cinema of the past, present and future. Our limits will be reflected in each of our editions. In addition, we adhere to a tradition of our arts and cultural movement, since the impulse that motivated the magazine Ojo al Cine founded by Andres Caicedo viciously influences the creation of this festival.


Call "Poetics of Resistance".

Curatorial proposal:

This exhibition aims to convene cinematographic, audiovisual and videoclip expressions of any genre that were made around the social outbreak in Colombia between 2019 and 2021. We are interested in compiling and creating a bank of artistic memory about the creations that thought through image and sound all the social process that took place throughout the country.

Likewise, due to diverse political processes of resistance at an international level, we consider it important to open our doors to creations from all over the world. Therefore, we will have our call open to cinematographic, audiovisual and videoclip expressions of any genre made between 2019 and 2023 in any country or town that are linked to the concept "Poetics of Resistance".

“Oldenburg - renown for its determination, cinephilia, and openness for the extremes - impresses with its brilliant programming.” - GRIP

Additionally, in an effort to raise awareness and build bridges between worlds through the common language of film, Oldenburg is the only Film Festival in the world that annually screens part of its regular program to incarcerated individuals who share the experience with members of the general public in an actual high-security Prison environment, known as ‘The Alcatraz of the North’.

“Oldenburg thrives as a discovery channel.” - Screen International

In addition to supporting the discovery of new artists, Oldenburg has hosted the German Premieres of films by such acclaimed filmmakers as Darren Aronofsky, Brian De Palma, Steven Soderbergh, Michael Polish, Johnnie To, Chan-wook Park, Monte Hellmann, & Takeshi Kitano amongst others. Guests of honor have included Jim McBride, Larry Clark, Philippe de Broca, Andrzej Zulawski, Ken Russell, Jerry Schatzberg, James Toback, Radley Metzger, Ted Kotcheff, Phedon Papmichael, George Armitage, Christophe Honoré, Edward R. Pressman, Bruce Robinson, William Freidkin, Ovidio Assonitis, and Peter & John Hyams who have all attended the festival for Retrospectives of their work.

“Just as impressive as the films was the festival itself, which, under the inspired direction of Torsten Neumann, combined intelligent cinephilia with a laid-back atmosphere of democratic equality.” - Sight and Sound

Nicolas Cage, Seymour Cassel, Asia Argento, Keira Knightley, Deborah Kara Unger, Mira Sorvino, Bobcat Goldthwait, Michael Wadleigh, Joanna Cassidy, Luke Wilson, Ben Gazzara, Stacy Keach, Amanda Plummer, Keith Carradine, Matthew Modine, Sean Baker, Andrea Rau, Mattie Do & Noémie Merlant are amongst many who have attended as honored guests or for Tributes in their honor.

“Alongside Venice and Toronto, Oldenburg is considered one of the most important Autumn Festivals for Independent Cinema” - de Telegraaf
