This year, we are also offering an online area to supplement the on-site festival program. It will include, for instance, the talks and film discussions. In addition, we will, if necessary, develop the online area further.

If you would like to receive a festival catalogue by post, please feel free to send enquiries to Stina Koch:

In case Osnabrück won´t turn into a hotspot within the next week, there are no more corona rules affecting the festival directly, apart from a mask requirement in the Kunsthalle Osnabrück. So you don’t have to show a vaccination certificate at the EMAF venues, nor do you have to take a test beforehand.

However, we would like to ask you for the following: Please stay at home if you have symptoms or feel ill. You are free to wear a mask at the other venues as well. Regular testing is possible at many nearby places in Osnabrück. Information about testing stations in Osnabrück, which allow a free quick test, will be provided by the guest office at the info counter in the Lagerhalle Osnabrück.

There are no access restrictions in the hotels, except the Backpackers Hostel where the 2G rule applies. Please be aware that there is still a duty to wear a mask in public transport. So if you come by airplane, train or bus, please be sure to take a ffp2-mask with you. In case you come by train or bus arriving Osnabrück at central station there are several bus lines bringing you directly to our venue Lagerhalle Osnabrück. There you will also find the info point and the guest office. You can take bus line 10, 15, M2 and X584 leaving at Osnabrück central station and taking you to the bus stop “Heger Tor” right in front of the Lagerhalle. You can also take a cab at central station, bringing you to the Lagerhalle in approximately 5 min costing you about 10€. If you arrive by plain at Airport Münster-Osnabrück please take the FMO-Shuttle (X52) and leave at bus stop Universität/Osnabrück Halle with a 5min walk to Lagerhalle from there.

If you need further info about your trip or accommodation, don´t hesitate to write an email to David Quitmann at the EMAF-guest-office via
