“an abstraction of moving reality – I filmed with b&w super8 and Mini DV at the Berlin Alexanderplatz x-mas fairground … later I discovered shots of the birds from the 16mm Found Footage studies … a friend gave me exposed & expired color super8 material – during the editing process arose a new form and cinematic image structure with different levels of perception & realities – what I see is not what I hear.” Andreas Gogol
DIRECTORS LOUNGE SPECIAL:
Björn Speidel “ROTARIO” (2016), 9 min, 3D DCP, 2k, 2.0
Der experimentelle Stereo3D-Film besteht aus einer einzigen, monoskopischen Aufnahme einer Karussellfahrt. Zunächst ist das Bild flach, nur die Passanten erzeugen kleine Irritationen. Die Fahrt beginnt und das Karussell entfaltet sich in die Tiefe des Raumes. Dann trennt sich das Bild in acht Felder, mit jeweils eigenem Zeitverlauf. Die kontinuierlichen Fahrten laufen auseinander, gegeneinander. Schließlich finden die Räume wieder in einer Fläche zusammen, doch alles ist nun anders, als zuvor. Ein RaumZeit-Bild – nicht von dieser Welt.
Björn Speidels Experimentalfilme untersuchen das Verhältnis von Bild und Abbildungsfläche. Mit Fragen zu Metapanel, Off-Screen und Stereo3D setzen sich die jüngsten Arbeiten auseinander.
Filme von ihm wurden auf internationalen Filmfestivals präsentiert, wie EXiS2007 Festival in Seoul, Forum Expanded, Berlinale 2013, 20th Jihlava International Documentary Film Festival 2016 oder Experimenta India 2017.
Zu den 61. Internationalen Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen programmierte er das Thema „Das Dritte Bild“, sowie S3D-Programme und -Workshops zu weiteren internationalen Filmfestivals.
Björn Speidel ist Mitglied im Filmkollektiv LaborBerlin e.V.
DIRECTORS LOUNGE SPECIAL:
Mike Steiner Videogalerie | the painted tape
In 1990 the Mike Steiner Videogalerie broadcasted “the painted tape”, a threepart compilation of video art, created in collaboration with art quake! and the A&O gallery. Die Videogalerie was both, a real exhibition space in the center of Berlin West and a dedicated television format for broadcasting media art on German public TV. Mike Steiner (1941 – 2012) was an artist, filmmaker and video pioneer. As a gallerist he was among the first to present the work of fluxus and video artist like Jochen Gerz, Joseph Beuys, Alan Kaprow, Valie Export, Friederike Pezold, Ulrike Rosenbach, Marina Abramović and Laurie Anderson.

Angela Christlieb Superunknown, 2018, 14:38
A dreamlike journey through shifting layers of consciousness. A man living in cold, sparsely furnished opulence is visited by images of a woman who may or may not be his lover. She appears both tactile and ghost-like, transparent and reflected, observed or remembered. He appears to photograph her, they appear to make love. Fetish fantasies mix into surreal dream images. The woman takes the form of a hallucinogenic surface for his paranoia and isolation. She moves like a sleepwalker through a world between sound and silence, desire and loss.

“Mutant Heads” by Eberhard Kranemann + Mathew Emmett
“the german-english collaboration of eberhard kranemann + mathew emmett calls to attention a conceptualization of space conveyed at the intersection of affect and schism, triggering deep immersion in future worlds. their projects are videos, electronic sounds and ongoing artwork-events envolving hybrid visions through new media and electronic sound scapes, comprised of digital sampling, 3D scanning, interaction and feedback.”
DL Booth (Hall 12 | Booth 54)
with works by Joachim Seinfeld ( Dokufiktion, Fotoperformance ), Visuman (media art), Julia Murakami (photography) and André Werner (media art / installation)
Wenn Deutsche lustig sind – Dokufiction (When Germans Are Having Fun)
In this series Joachim Seinfeld uses archival material showing scenes from German history. He mounts himself in historical photographs in various disguises staging different people representing different positions in the scenery. Thus our perception is sharpenend and our – sometimes – unquestioned approach to historical visual material is reflected on.
Joachim Seinfeld graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Italy with a degree in painting. At the beginning of the 90s he started combining painting and photography by applying photographic emulsions to his pictures. Since then the use of silver gelatine emulsion is characteristic for his work. Since the early 1990 Joachim Seinfeld participated in numerous exhibitions in Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Italy, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Turkey, USA and other countries. He took part in the International Biennial of Contemporary Art at the National Gallery in Prague or the exhibition 4 KS 2/63 – 40 Years of Auschwitz Trial at the Martin-Gropius-Museum in Berlin. He has received numerous awards including the Heinrich Heine prize of the city of Augsburg (1994). He has performed and lectured all over Europe including the Zacheta National Gallery Warsaw, the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Trafo Gallery, Budapest, Tacheles, Berlin and Académie Royale des Beaux Arts, Liège, Belgium . His works are included in the collections of Santa Barbara Museum of Arts, Städtische Galerie Lüdenscheid, the Jewish Museum and the National Gallery in Prague, the Collection Gomes de Pinho (Institute Seralves), Porto and in numerous private collections. His Golem pictures were used for the New English edition of the Golem by G. Meyrink at Tartarus Press.
