B3 Moving Image Forum

Cool, moving, amazing

The B3 Moving Image Forum gives an insight into the diverse and ever-changing world of international creative artists with their latest works.

In these works, artists transform stories, ideas and worlds of thought into moving images in their own unique ways. Creatively and technologically, they have set themselves no limits. We show the latest works and projects from art, VR/ AR, games and AI by established and emerging international artists and media creators, at least as German premieres.

At the B3 Moving Image Forum professionals can get inspired, discover new talents, and explore the diversity of moving images together with the general public. Cool, moving, amazing, touching, controversial, beautiful and thought-provoking: That's how you can describe the works and projects that the invited creatives present to the esteemed B3 audience.

All works will be shown at the ASTOR Film Lounge MyZeil in the heart of Frankfurt.
