The ARTEKino Festival is an innovative online film festival presented by ARTE.tv and Festival Scope aimed at movie goers from all over Europe. The festival strives to celebrate and promote European films and to give a large audience access to critically acclaimed festival hits that might otherwise not be available in all countries. Launched in 2016, with the aim of showcasing and aiding the circulation of cutting-edge films by young Europeans, the festival takes place each year in December.
While we wait for the 2021 edition there is European cinema to discover throughout the year with the ARTEKino Selection, available free at ARTE.tv. Each month a new film is featured representing the richness and diversity of European cinema.
In July, the ARTEKino Selection features Claire Denis’s 2008 film 35 Shots of Rum, currently streaming on ARTE.tv. For August, Tereza Nvotová's powerful debut feature Filthy, explores hard-hitting issues of rape, trauma and secondary victimisation. In September ARTEKino presents the potent real-world feminist fable Sibel, featuring a mesmerising performance by Damla Sönmez.
