„Destinations/Suunad“. DVD, 2005.Interactive videodiary „Destinations“ is made according to the formal principle – the moving direction of the video on the screen. The movement of the passanger is opposed to the movement of the video. The main idea is to show the relativity of movements in time and space, as well as to show the choices we seemingly make in order to control one`s life. Gaining an ultimate control in order to reach the destination we want is impossible. 

Interaktiivne videopäevik “Destinations” on koostatud lähtuvalt formaalsest põhimõttest - videopildi liikumise suunast ekraanil. See on vastupidine reisija liikumise suunaga. Ideeks on liikumise relatiivsus ajas ja ruumis ning näilised valikud, mida teeme, et kontrollida oma elu. Lõpliku kontrolli saavutamine jõudmaks soovitavasse sihtpunkti osutub võimatuks.

KinoKabaret: ANNA SCHENK, CONSTANZE BERSCHUCK, ARMIN MOBASSERI (Saksamaa)

WORKSHOP, tulemused esitatakse festivalil Pärnu programmis

AEG: K 12. – R 14. oktoober iga päev algusega kl 10.00

KOHT: Academia Non Grata, Suur-Posti 16, Pärnu

Töö käib inglise keeles.

Get up, get an idea, write your script, shoot, edit, do the sound and finally present it in front of the audience; all of that in only 48 hours – that is KinoKabaret!

Following our motto Do well with nothing, do better with little and do it right NOW!, we produce short films under a common theme. Together we create works that may be funny, sad, salty or sweet, works that may cause trouble and heat.

For this purpose we meet the first night at the KinoLab, we present the theme and everybody gets to meet each other. The morning after we meet again and brief our ideas or offer our cooperation to each other. Then the teams start off, usually shoot the day and come back at night. The second day is mostly for editing and sound making.

The night of the second day we have the audience gather in the screening room, while some of you will still be editing and finally present our movies in front of all the guests and Kabaret participants! 

After we want to party and think about a Kino group in Estonia…

Because: Kino is a worldwide movement, that originated in Quebec, Canada, a few years ago, and in the meanwhile exists in many places in North America, Africa, Europe and it doesn’t stop! The closer neighbors are: Manchester, Paris, Lyon, Bruxelles, Vienna, Hamburg and Berlin. All these places organize KinoKabarets and the Kinoites visit each other for that purpose. At the same time the Kino groups are independent and make short or even longer films in their own ways. But we network, we visit each other and we believe that you don’t need much to make good films except for the pleasure of doing it!

We don’t want to leave that field to the big production companies or media corporations!

So from the 12^th to the 14^th of October the first KinoKabaret in Estonia will take place, several people from KinoBerlino will come and help with the organization and hopefully the birth of the first Kino group in Estonia.

Don’t worry if you don’t have experience or the technical equipment, we join all our resources to create bigger things! Become a Kinoit!

'I watched the bodies being dragged down from our neighbourhood. They were

wrapped in blankets soaked in blood. When I saw all this, I fainted. This all

happened after the murder of my son.'

Marcia lives in a favela in Rio de Janeiro. Her son was murdered by the

police. He was one of the 1194 people who where killed in 2003 by the police

of Rio de Janeiro. The victims are mainly young people- black and mulattos,

from the poor areas. The police of Brasil are notorious for the extreme

violence in trying to keep order for the state.

The documentary, a German-Brasilian co-production of the video collectives AK

KRAAK (Berlin) and aTraVer (Rio de Janeiro) gives a voice to the inhabitants

of the favelas. They talk about their lives; being without possibilities;

being marginalised; and above all - the police brutality.

EUROPACINEMA AWARD FOR THE BEST DOCUMENTARY

„RESIST“

Karin Kaper& Dirk Souzies (Saksamaa) 

Civil disobedience!

No more war!

Resist!

That's what The Living Theatre has always done - and is still doing with vigor today. 

RESIST chronicles the history and mission behind The Living Theatre, one of the most significant companies in the history of American theatre and the avant garde. Established in 1947 by Julian Beck and Judith Malina as an alternative to commercial theater, the Living Theatre's politically-motivated plays expressed anarchist, pacifist ideals and mobilized the theater as a medium for social change.

For over 50 years, the controversial troupe impacted audiences and theater practice around the world with its visceral, free-form productions, including The Brig, Paradise Now, The Money Tower, Mysteries and Smaller Pieces, The Rules of Civility, and Not in My Name. 

Today their collective creations are performed in unconventional venues around the world-from public parks and factories to prisons and detainment camps, opposing economic tyranny and the militarism paralyzing so many countries. But is it still a valid, effective form of social commentary and protest? What weight do their ideas have if the world is so eager to live in violence? Are their utopian ideals a realistic response to the complex problems of contemporary societies? What is the meaning of this fight today?

Interweaving archival footage of past shows with contemporary interviews with Malina, Beck (up until his death in 1985), co-director Hanon Reznikov, and other company members of past and present, RESIST follows the troupe of radical illusionaries on three different journeys as they collaborate with young activists on productions beyond the traditional stage: Ground Zero in New York; the G8 Summit in Genoa; and the Al Khiam detention camp in South Lebanon. 

RESIST is a poetic and political homage to the Living Theatre which, after nearly six decades is often taken for dead yet always revived; a rejected but tireless nomad, the Living has survived its own success and its opponents' persecution.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"A stirring testimony to the renegade spirit of Julian Beck, and to the few places where social action and American legit life still cross paths. A combination of archival and first-person view of where the happily anarchic company is at today, RESIST should attract anyone interested in experimental theater. German-based helmer Dirk Szuszies, a onetime member of the famously controversial outfit, is well-positioned to tell the story of a group that 'you don't audition for; you just show up.' Resistance might be futile, but RESIST, made with affection, is curiously upbeat." - Variety

"Like most people, I assumed that Julian Beck's Living Theatre was as dead as bell-bottoms with kick pleats, but this inspirational doc from Dirk Szuszies proves me wrong." - The Georgia Straight

"Stimulating and uplifting! The story of this remarkable ensemble company and its charismatic leader Judith Malina ranges from the landmark performances of the 1950s and 60s to some of its most recent work in the U.S., Italy, France, and the Middle East. The scenes in southern Lebanon-where troupe members attempt to convert a Hezbollah theatre group to non-violence and pacifism-are worth the price of admission alone!" - The Age (Australia)

"Beyond transmitting the important message of peaceful resistance, RESIST is a valuable tool for discovering the work of The Living Theatre, which combines theatrical language with real experience." - EuropaCinema Jury, Award for Best Documentary

NONGRATA PRESENTS:

“ART OF THE INVISIBLES” 

Around the name NON GRATA there have been different hushes and sushes for
a long time. Already from the point of view of death of conventionalization
of art it has embodied the horrible and unwanted disembodiment of human
person, from which the meaninglessness of nowadays art, is pouring out. For
those, whose world of arts starts from the point, where the art world ends, NON
GRATA has been a liberator, the orphic gap in the seemingly unalterable course,
which however betrays us, it is a cure from insest. The main point of the group
is ethical - it is the image of primitivism, unpersonality and experimental
creativity. The performances of the group take palce according to the
logic of avoiding codes. The presenatations are physical texts, whose ways of
orthography and reading are kept within limits of real actions by the group
members. Aesthetical and provocative challenges are represented in places,
where tha Art World doesn´t work.

Sound: Antanas Jasenka.

Story description - synopsis:

Water is usually no taste, no smell no color liquid. Seventy present of human is water. But all this is only useless technical specifications.
Why I've got crying

I waw near the water and frightened fishes

I wanted them back, but they didn't come

Synopsis:

Flight, journey, way, movement structure has no end as well as the final goal or aim. No target, no South or North. We are everywhere and nowhere. The gross matter, human - maschine, sound, visual have rudiments of thinking which lead us nowhere, have no dramaturgy, simmilar to the state which have no time dimension and eternal. There are no direction, which could be more important, than antidirection, so the left is space - body, spirit - condition. Body is space, vector of live being and dead. Boarding Pass is the ticket to nowhere for nobody. Stop time, point, explosion.

BJÖRN FREDERKING (SAKSAMAA) 

Kontakt: strahler69@gmx.de

Formaat: DVD

“Der Unbekannte” 2004 (2 min)

“Similar” 2003 (2 min)

Only one artist hides behind the pseudonyms E-crow and Strahler: Björn Frederking.
He started to make music in 1988, during the first time in band-projects, but since the middle of the 90's he preferred to do his experiments with sounds alone. His way led him from Ambient to tracks influenced by Drum 'n Bass and Electro and more and more to an own independent style.
You can follow this process listening to the "E-Crow electronic listening compilation 95-98". The wide range of different compositions shows the development. Every new step required a changed or new definition and also a renaming of his own project.
The tracks which came into being during three years in a studio in the bavarian "Outback" are characterized by tricky beats, warm sound shapes and Björns manic love for the equipment which causes often surprising results. Their harmony and atmosphere are disturbed by deliberat breaks and especially in the spoken word tracks by a cryptic humor.
The track "Elektronisch" is a special mark on this way. It is the end of the album and can be seen as a new beginning, because it is the only track without foreign vocal samples. Frederking started to uses his voice and initiated under the name Strahler a series of publications on our label.

But on the other hand s/he also had a desire to express and live her/his own masculinity.Pashkes biography gives the impuls to ask also other women about their ideas about their lives and about gender roles. For example, Sofia lives the traditional women's role. She was married and got six children. But she also has partly subversiv ideas and wishes. Sofia criticizes the restrictions for women in society that rule her life. Pashke and Sofia live in Northern Albania in a mountain village called Theth and in Shkodra.

The copy of which the film is talking about was produced in Bulgaria: inthe eighties the Western product Apple-II was dismantled there and put together again as the Eastern product Pravetz II.The reverse engineering of a successful personal computer, the copy comes into

operation in the Cold War. Unofficially it is a copy; officially it is a Bulgarian production. As every copy it fails its original.

Something particular was created in Bulgaria and produced collective desires: it was supposed to be a successful product, a mass product, which wouldhelp the small country Bulgaria catch up to the USA. The computer was supposed to outsmart the West and with its helpone wanted to make fun of those, „who don’t even know where Bulgaria is.”

In the production of the copy women took on a special role. Many of them working in high positions and carrying „three watermelons under one arm”: officiallywomen were enjoying equal rights, but unofficially one would say said in thesocialist Bulgaria, „Woman carry three watermelons under one arm. They are supposed to be a good activist, a good housewife and a good worker.”

Later, during the transition from socialism to capitalism, the computer was also used for the production of viruses. Once made, the viruses copied themselves and traveled: „The USA can deny entry to me, but not to my viruses”, said Dark Avenger, a virus writer whoseproducts caused major damage in companies in the USA.

Since 1997 we have been developing common work at the intersections of art, theory and film. Central to our work are current sociopolitical issues such as work, sexuality and migration. We are especially focussing our analysis on the meaning and productivity of sexuality in the field of work. Our general idea is to develop an exchange of the production of knowledge and of forms of representation between different social fields.

But collective desires were also deflected, got stuck. The production copied the way of production of Western capitalism; the virus writers were considered losers without an „understandingof property”. Many of the computer kidsbecame women programmers and hardwarespecialists, who earn little at the few existing Bulgarian companies and earn

well or better, if they work for an American or German company. Many of the women we were searching foralready left the country and live with working permits in the USA, in Canada or in South Africa.

Together, three women filmmakers and three women computer specialists, we take a research trip through the history of bulgarian Computer production.

The film tells his story through conversations with Plamen Vachkov, the former managing director of the Pravetz factory, with Doriana Moneva, whoinstalled the printed circuit board at Pravetz and Maria Petrova, who was a worker at the Pravetz plant and who organised protests for owed wages, or with Vesselin Bontchev, the virus hunter, the biggest opponent of Dark Avenger. Copy me - i want to travel also shows rare footage on the introduction of personal computers in Bulgaria.

The fact that the filmmaker‘s view of the images of the cold war is critical and yet caught up in them, and that they carry with them their own gender and sexual positions brings about staged images that infuse the film like a queer´version of classic spy films: Pauline Boudrys family came from Bulgaria to Switzerland and the first movie Paulinesaw with them was called „le parapluie bulgare“. It was about the tricked out umbrella of a bulgarian agent.

The music for the film was produced by rhythm king and her friends.

"ELUTUBA" Rao Heidmets, 1994, 10 min

Sünopsis:
Sürrealistlik nägemus lapsemaailmast, kus vanematel tütre jaoks aega ei jätku, vanaisa ettekirjutused on aga lausa kriidijoontega ette piiritletud. See on mehaaniliste kordumiste maailm, monotoonne ja arengupotensiaalita. Tüdruk joonistab selle asemele oma kriipsujukude maailma. Selles viimases leiabki ta lõpuks tõelise ja loomuliku lapsepõlve.

Synopsis:
Film about conflict between young and old generations. In this animated film with live actors the protagonist is a girl, who is brought up by her grandfather. he lives in a strictly regulated world where animate as well as inanimate creatures have fixed places, which are marked by chalk on the living-room floor. Anything surpassing those borders is mercilessly scarped out of the film strip. The young girl, in whom the primal forces of nature are awakening, learns from her grandfather’s fading sexuality. She starts to scrape the filmstrip as well, to change the world according to her own
 

"HUMACHINOID" Kalju Kivi, 1995, 7 min

Synopsis:
A film about the influence of society on the life of an individual. We can follow the career of one life from childhood to maturity; from the pioneer scarves and Soviet Army to family responsibilities. we can see, how a man whose personality is eliminated, thrown from a well-organized world of rules and regulations into another system, is barely able to find himself in new circumstances.

Sünopsis:
Eksperimentaalse hõnguga lamenukkfilm peegeldab n.ö. ajalist kokkuvõtete “elust enesest”. Totalitaarne kommunismieelne sotsialism. Tantsiva müüriladuja sünnitatud “ Man “,kellel on kõik eeldused olla “ Humanoid “ muutub ühiskonna toimel “ Humachinoidiks”. Selle omadusega tuleb ta toime ka tarbimis – kulutamisühiskonnas. Võib olla isegi muudes maailmakõiksustes.

?Synopsis :
The system of resident cards in Korea results from the unique situation of the Korean peninsula, the division of South and North Korea. This system violates human rights severely by compelling civilians to have individual numbers and forcing the stamping of ten fingerprints, which is the normal procedure for criminals in western society. It is another face of the 'Big Brother' in '1984', George Orwell's famous science fiction novel which was subsequently made into the well known movie ofthe same name. However, the argument of the South Korean Government is that such a system is necessary because of the division of Korea into north and south. This has persuaded people to accept this system without question. In this work, I would like to raise the problems of this system of resident cards, which internalizes both Fascism and a surveillance system.

?Synopsis : <Life-Entertainment-Film>
There is not any problem of clear rule and result of game between man and woman. We know this by that the relationship between two sexes is totally competitive, but sometimes amiable. The concern of the author is to investigate diverse sides of human relationship by the form of game. We can read her message that the relationship among people doesn't decide by just one side, we should live all together in this situation even though we are constantly contradictory, and the character of the relationship among people should continue to explore.
Author Ann's narration is a expression to put down fire by fire by the established space. Afterwards, she acquires a circulating space. What she is trying to say is that, in other words, human reaches dissolution and destruction sneering instituional wall of a false and conflict, but the power of dissolution and destruction rise from simple and repeating action which trying to escape from meaninglessness, and finally human is in this circulating space of remodeleing.

?Synopsis : Outside the circuit of the watching act toward the body of self and others, there is a body’s metabolism or the regimen of flesh, skin, and hair. To the eye of an enlarged eco-feminist, the water sprinkled upon hairs is not just a metaphoric one through similarity in form. It is the actual water that makes hairs grow. The grass is identical with hairs, but just having a different name. It is not a world of poor ambiguity, but a world of abundant certainty. by Park, Chan-kyung (Critic, Director of Alternative Space FULL)

?Synopsis : Made up of 8 womens, the feminist group IPGIM plans a  feminist art festival in the form of citizen participation.
The JongMyo Civic park is a place endowed with the gravity of Confucianism and the significance of patriarchy.
IPGIM takes the point of the past and of the dead who performed religious rites there.
With the theme of the birth of life from a woman's  womb, IPGIM plan the "A-Bang-Gung JongMyo Seized Project"
which addresses the contemporary significance of JongMyo.
However, on the day of the event, the exhibition is obstructed and dissipated  through the force by Lee Clan Family Association and Confucian party.
Even though IPGIM's festival is not held on that day, IPGIM united with feminiat, culture, and art groups plan to hold women's cultural festival, whereby all the ''bad women" will conduct a streeet march
in exactly one month later, on OCT.29 2000, at th JongMyo Civic park.
The series of performances will vividly convey the violence of patriarchy
that is stubbornly extant even now, and the images of the women who
stand against it.
