This years theme is Goethes literary masterpiece: FAUST.
Genius Loci Weimar is an annual festival for site-specific audiovisual art, especially façade, space and object projections. The festival combines the historical spirit of Weimar and the contemporary technique of video mapping, a projection technique that incorporates the object into the image design, giving objects multi-layered dimensions and audiovisual narratives.
Through the international competition, the Genius Loci Weimar Festival offers an inventory of current video mapping productions worldwide. As a meeting place for the international video mapping scene, the festival attracts culturally interested audiences from the fields of architecture, media art, design, performing arts and fine arts to Weimar. With almost 50,000 visitors, the festival is one of the highlights of the Weimar Summer.

Requirements:
Until June 15th 2025, applicants can submit a 30-second video clip for the projection on this year’s building, the southern facade of the Weimar City Castle and the Ensemble Bastille.
This year, Genius Loci Weimar is once again in search of the very special spirit of the chosen place and a convincingly atmospheric, but also experimental visual language and dramaturgy. A realization in animation, 3D animation and also as a live action film is conceivable. We expressly encourage short film makers, motion graphic artists, and video and film artists of all disciplines and genres to apply for the selected location with their different aesthetics, animation techniques, and narrative styles.
