Give me more…


More than 1000 projects were submitted to the Filmwinter to be chosen. This enormous increase in comparison to last year (about 600 submissions) shows that the Filmwinter has established itself as an innovative forum in the international festival scene. As Festival For Expanded Media the Filmwinter investigates the relationship and differences between film, video and new media. As a place for experimental film, short-film, video-art, net-art and media based environments the artistic quality is of main importance. Additionally Filmwinter tries to combine the artistic projects with social, political and economical topics. Within the Expanded Media Lounge (XML) not only will media development and information technology be introduced, there will also be speakers who talk about sociology, economic science and philosophy. It is the aim to present and discuss media as factors influencing our reception in every-day-life, which can be seen and felt. More than 100 international and national filmmakers, artists, researchers and representatives of the Media and IT industry will discuss topics such as robotics, media-evolution in countries of transmission,  migrating systems within the internet and VJ-culture. Along side this presentation and discussion there will be the legendary parties that have formed a basic part of Filmwinter. For 15 years Filmwinter has been establishing an innovative mix of emerging and established work. This is true as well for the location: next to the established festival locations of the Filmhaus, Treffpunkt Rotebühlplatz and Kleine Schalterhalle (Small Ticket Hall) of the MainTrain Station there will be the Old Printing factory next to the Filmhaus which will function as theatre stage.
