About the Welcome Film Festival The Welcome Film Festival was founded by French-Danish conceptual artist Thierry Geoffroy, and will have its first edition from November 01-20, 2024. The festival is a new emergency format, with the emergency being the need to express oneself on important matters - political or private - as well as to connect and exchange ideas with friends and strangers alike. During the duration of the film festival, a number of "foreigners"- artists with migrant backgrounds, residing in Denmark - will invite guests into the intimate settings of their homes to screen their own films. Questions will be raised, such as, what are the new experimental movements in film today? What is a film festival? This avant-garde event will allow audiences to familarize themselves not only with a different kind of film, but with topics that concern artists with diverse backgrounds. Along with these insights, guests will be able to experience different cultural forms of hospitality and conviviality as they travel from one private setting to the next. The festival is, therefore, as much about enjoying film as a medium, as it is about exploring the many different contexts provided by its multi-cultural hosts. Welcome to the Welcome Film Festival! Keep an eye out for updates on specific screening dates, and please be in touch if you are interested in joining either as a filmmaker or as a volunteer. As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to meet culturally diverse participants, spread the word about the film festival, work on press and documentation, help organize the festival program, social media outreach, conduct interviews with the filmmakers, as well as participate in film screenings and important discussions that might arise from them.
