The theme for the documentary competition
City life is free, province is tight – the labels are big enough to cover our whole reality. Although a lot has changed in the last years between the centre and the edge. Filmfest Eberswalde wants to remove the old labels and take a closer look behind. The Provinziale is calling upon documentary filmmakers all over the world, to tell storys about life beyond the well known places: about the cruelty of survival, the freedom of self-organization, about innovation and courage, about perplexity in demographical change, about yearning for the wide world and last but not least about homeland, that is always a little bit provincial. The province is providing many spaces, that can be used differently. This spaces shall be explored.
The thematic reference is a precondition to participate on the documentary competition.

Short feature films and animation films are not required to have an thematic reference. They shall not be produced befor 2008.
