EMERGEANDSEE Berlin 2009
We have all waited long enough, but now we can offer you relief. With a lot of well known features but also some exciting new ones the next EMERGEANDSEE Berlin event is coming up on the 3-8 February 2009. But this year we have two new locations: The steeped in history Filmtheater am Friedrichshain and the Collegium Hungaricum Berlin (www.hungaricum.de).
You can now note down the 3rd and 4th of February 2009 for our two short film competitions which will take place in the Filmtheater am Friedrichshain. And they really promise a lot. We got films from excitingly different countries, schools, genres and of course styles that will form a thrilling short film cocktail which is not allowed for screening to under 18 year olds. The new thematical competition EAST-WEST with films up to 20 mins long and filmmakers up to 30 years of age offers nine different perspectives on this topic that is gaining more importance but also a variety of meanings every day.
In connection with the EAST-WEST competition the "Yet Another Media Conference" searches for the mechanisms at play in the adaptions and/or adoptions of cultural images in film. It will be held at the Collegium Hungaricum Berlin which is hosting captivating cultural events and is a place to keep your eyes on. Last week they received a visit from Peter Greenaway. We are hosting the conference on the 7th and 8th of February.
