Offene Ateliers Köln 2019 / Opekta Ateliers Köln

The screening of independent films and videos is a rare occasion, accessible to few healthy participants recruited for these experimental procedures; the next phase comes when all our attachments to old methods of structured meanings are obliterated. The proliferation of images slowly transforms into a mass significant in the grey recesses of our neural cortex; the dreams and memories relay images of subjectivity, based on visual representations that cannot be exemplified in a direct way.

With their fluid approach to structure and close attention to rhythm, the films in this programme demonstrate different ways of expressing connection and interconnection – with oneself, with another, between humans and non-humans, and with both the urban environment and natural surroundings. They ask us to be attentive to the relationship between exterior and interior worlds, transforming perception through new languages of observation and contemplation.  https://www.edfilmfest.org.uk/2021/shorts-interconnections/08-21_16-00

Der Fokus des Experimentalfilmprogramms FLCKR liegt in sogenannten Flickerfilmen, die zur. Gattung des Strukturellen Films zählen. Punktuell sind hier Filme mit einer visuell-meditativen Anlage gesetzt. Sie beschäftigen sich eher mit einer Schule des Sehens, mit dem kontemplativen Schauen.
