Culture X Frames
A film festival for diverse people, places, and stories.
Festival Goals
What we stand for
Intercultural Exchange
Intercultural exchange is the cultural bridge between people, for a more open way of being together. The goal is to create a platform where diversity isn't just represented but genuinely lived — rooted in opening yourself up to new connections and new perspectives on the world and on life.

Funding Pool
We're building a funding pool to support and help realize no-budget film projects. The goal is to lower the financial barrier to creativity and passion — making space specifically for small film projects that would otherwise fall through the cracks of larger film funding programs.

Who's behind Culture X Frames
Josh Kampeter
Chair
Ever since I was young, I've dreamed of building my own project and making the world a little better. Over the past few years I've gathered a lot of experience across different projects — until, in the summer of 2025, the idea for the Culture X Frames film festival was born. With it, I want to put my passion for film and events to use: bringing people closer together again, and making it easier for young artists to access film funding.
Anni Müller
Hosting & Curation
What I love most is that every event takes place at a new location, so new spaces for exchange and connection keep emerging. I love being right in the middle of it: meeting people, having conversations, doing interviews, picking up on the mood in the room, and discovering different perspectives. It's exactly this mix of film, people, and encounter that makes Culture X Frames so special to me.
Chris Schnebel
Technical Direction
Images — especially moving images — have always been an outlet for my emotions, and a way to show other people how I see the world. As a filmmaker myself, I know how hard it can be to be seen, whether that's by funding bodies or by the audience you're trying to reach. With Culture X Frames, I'm looking forward to helping others overcome exactly these hurdles, and to share their view of the world with others.
