The Munich-based event agency Moving Adventures Medien is responsible for the content of the film tour and the organisation of the events. "Our team visits many international film festivals, most of them in North America. There we meet protagonists, filmmakers, journalists, the whole scene. But now people also approach EOFT on their own initiative. And we usually produce one film a year ourselves," says CEO Joachim Hellinger.

According to Hellinger, the films are selected based on content and artistic quality. "There has to be something extraordinary about each film: either it has a great look and style - for example, the action-packed films about snowboarding or mountain biking. Or it tells the story of a special adventure and has a fascinating protagonist. Preferably one who also shows weaknesses. Superheroes where everything goes smoothly don't exist in real life either."

The EOFT starts on 17.10.2924 in Munich and will take place in various cities until 15.03.2025. All information about the new programme and all dates can be found on the website eoft.eu.
