LusOFest SPECIAL SCREENING «We GONNA WORK IT OUT!»
During the Kunstansichten festival, in May 2026, as part of the current group exhibition at 57Nord, we screened a programme of Lusophone short films that explored the theme of ‘work’ from different perspectives.

Be Water, my Friend
In January 2026, LusOFest showed feature films and short films from the Portuguese-speaking world at various locations in Offenbach. This editions's focus was on the element of water and the seas and oceans, which divide and connect the language area. The links below provide an overview of the programme and a list of the winners and honourable mentions from the short film competition.

Short Film Day ‘Now... or never!’
In 2025, LusOFest participated in the nationwide Short Film Day for the first time with its own event. We jumped at the chance to show an early, additional programme at Digital Retro Park in Offenbach. We'd like to say a big thank you to Xerox Exotique and the DRP team for making this happen.

Once Upon A Time The Revolution
Building on the recent 50th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution in Portugal and the independence of Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau and East Timor, we have chosen "revolutionary movements and their consequences" as the main theme for the 2025 programme. The festival took place from 23 to 26 January at the Filmklubb Offenbach and the galery 57Nord. We've recently published a recap of the 2025 edition inside our blog.
