Festival Memories
In 2010, the "1st Orscheler Sommer Filmfestival" (later renamed "Filmfestival Oberursel") was launched, a short film competition that took place once a year during the "Orscheler Sommer". Initially, it was organized by Tim Lukas Leinert and Shahzad Islam Talukder and supported by the Kunstgriff association. Since 2016, it has been called the "Orscheler Filmfest" and was mainly organized by Ludwig Kempf.
Due to Covid, the film festival could not take place in 2020. No one has been found to organize the festival for 2021.
A new festival director, Alexander Mereien, has been found for Orscheler Sommer 2021 and so the festival can take place again in 2022. In a slightly different setting, much more extensive and again under a slightly different name: Filmfest Oberursel.
