Each year, YOUKI invites young filmmakers to create a film project from start to finish on location during the festival period. What often requires years must be done in only one week.

...and the festival film is then to be presented at the YOUKI-Gala. Time and place are the only guidelines for the artists. This framework creates a space of spontaneity and openness and requires quick decisions, which usually make the film all the more humorous, exciting or surprising. Working on location allows the audience to get an insight into the creative work of young filmmakers. In 2024 the artist in residence to create the festival film is Luzia Johow.
