The 25th Stuttgart Film Festival incorporating the Festival for Expnaded Media runs from 19 to 22 Film in January 2012 in Stuttgart, Germany.

It is a combination of multimedia installations, video art, screenings of feature, documentary and short films.

Independent Jury's have selected from more than 70 films and video works along with installation works around the themes of Network Culture and how role models for men and women are treated in mainstream media.
