Film Contest

Different forms of communication convey different contents; they abbreviate and create the world in different ways, and they may thus impact and shape our orientations differently.

Through our short film contest, we seek to promote and support the creation of philosophical short films that address, represent, or express orientation-philosophical concepts. To kick off our contest, we have created 2 philosophical short films ourselves:

“All things come into being and pass away through strife.” – Heraclitus

Footholds

Purpose

For our first video contest, the theme is: “orientation and disorientation.” You can find an initial definition of “orientation” in our FPO glossary.
