In 21 locations around the Cologne cultural quarter around Neumarkt you will be able to discover works of fine art and media art. Further venues are the Cologne based gallery ampersand, kunstgaleriebonn and Bonner Kunstverein.

Besides outstanding thesis films by graduates of both institutions, new talents is also presenting selected debut films for the first time this year. Nine movies are screened during two theme nights at Filmclub 813. After each screening, filmmakers in attendance will discuss their works with representatives of the film sector.
