Bildrausch Filmfest Basel

The BILDRAUSCH film festival in Basel returns from 25 to 29 June 2025 with the theme ‘Neighbourhoods’.
The festival focuses on living together, both at the level of a household or a neighbourhood and at the level of a city or a country, and examines pressing questions from different angles in the hope of discovering new perspectives and answers.
The SHORTS section is dedicated to Swiss filmmakers and provides a stage for experimental boldness and artistic creation. Enriched with film talks, panel discussions, readings, concerts, exhibitions and performances, BILDRAUSCH forges personal connections between artists and audiences, broadens perspectives and forges an inspiring space for encounters from all walks of life.
The performance ‘Sounds of Neighbours’, organised as part of the 2025 edition of BILDRAUSCH, collects sounds from unique, absurd and funny stories from different parts of the city. It doesn’t matter if it’s a simple phone recording, Argentinian musician Daniel Almada will edit it and improvise live. If you would like to contribute to this performance, send in your story in the form of a text or a simple telephone recording via this link by 30 April.
The BILDRAUSCH film festival in Basel, Switzerland presents feature and short films of exceptional artistic quality in an international setting and at the same time addresses current social issues.
