Set in October, the festival presents a curated selection of films that push the boundaries of cinema; including films awarded at major festivals such as Cannes, Berlinale, Venice, Rotterdam, Visions du Réel, and CPH:DOX.

MIRAGE Professionals is the festival's industry branch and all about the craft and process of filmmaking, with a special focus on creating a hub in Oslo for the professionals behind the collaborative art of cinema— editors, cinematographers, sound designers, filmmakers, and all the creatives.

Each year, the festival hands out its acclaimed MIRAGE Sculpture Award for Editing, Cinematography, Sound Design, and Directing.

A one-person jury decides the award as a recognition from one artist to the other.

Filmmakers who have participated to the event include Victor Kossakovsky, Payal Kapadia, Albert Serra, Pierre-Yves Vandeweerd, Tsai Ming-liang, Emilija Škarnulytė, Verena Paravel, Lucien Castaing-Taylor. [2]

Filmmaking or film production is the process by which a motion picture is produced. Filmmaking involves a number of complex and discrete stages, beginning with an initial story, idea, or commission. Production then continues through screenwriting, casting, pre-production, shooting, sound recording, post-production, and screening the finished product before an audience, which may result in a film release and exhibition. The process is nonlinear, as the director typically shoots the script out of sequence, repeats shots as needed, and puts them together through editing later. Filmmaking occurs in a variety of economic, social, and political contexts around the world, and uses a variety of technologies and cinematic techniques to make theatrical films, episodic films for television and streaming platforms, music videos, and promotional and educational films.
