Persistences
We stubbornly stick to what we aim for. On the one hand, to fight for something, and on the other, to maintain a status quo or to change it. Persistently fighting against conventions, conquering your fears, to claim one’s own position. Always continuing, even though there are many presumed reasons not to. Eight short films of different genres will be shown, which will broach the subject of their protagonist’s perseverance or will bring attention to the necessity of persistence.

This short film discusses a building through the activity of two running protagonists. It questions the meaning of buildings as a stage of social processes. The significance of buildings is always ambivalent. After all, they do not merely contribute to the shaping of behaviour. They themselves are the results of different societal dynamics and practices. Room for manoeuvre or private party?

to get up, a meditationdiscussion
Getting up in the morning is not merely a decision of the right or the left foot, but always also marks a fine line between work and recreation. In a world, in which we are not even safe from job requests in our own bed, the protagonist tries to withdraw from this system, which is based on justification, in quiet refusal but is none the less pulled into it. Her enemies are societal reprimands and efficiency ideals, which penetrate her bedroom and her mind unhindered.

A Face
A short film, which makes us aware, that today we often identify and stage ourselves through the medium of social networks. Facebook and co. lends a face to every one. Whether it corresponds to reality or not, is decided by the individual him/herself.

FAB fabulous
The short film FAB FABULOUS offers a visual expedition trough the cocoon of gender enactment on the stage of everyday life. Through the celebrated ritual of daily masquerade, the camera subtly follows a group of men in their transformation into a new, staged identity. Fleet-footed, the film investigates the unworldly melancholy – the metamorphosis from dream into reality. Longing to stimulate the outside world and hoping to escape within the own body.
