International Random Film Festival

The International Random Film Festival is the first and oldest film festival in world that is celebrating randomness in cinema. There are 25 films selected randomly to the International Competition every year amongst the submissions. The International Random Film Festival is organized annually in a randomly selected location, on a random opening date. Awards are given out randomly.
History
The concept for the festival started as a breakfast-idea one summer morning in 2009 by Hannaleena Hauru and Synes Elischka - as a critique to the world wide short film festival network. The founders decided to start a film festival that gives a truly equal possibility to all the filmmakers to have their film screened internationally. The theoretical basis is to deconstruct the concept of a competition in quality.
The first edition for the festival in 2010 was promoted only by a Facebook group. The festival website has been running since April 2011.
