Shot in the East New York section of Brooklyn around the time of Hurricane Sandy, Ditch Plains is a dystopian sci-fi street dance film featuring members of Ringmasters Crew. Like avatars running the levels of an apocalyptic video game, Ringmasters Corey, Jay Donn and Marty McFly hallucinate the city and its networks as a space of terror, mutation and magic. “Flexing,” “bone breaking,” “pauzing” and “connecting” in nighttime streets, hotel hallways and a posh Park Avenue apartment, the dancers improvise dream-like scenes suggesting digital death matches, stop-and-frisk situations and catastrophic man-machine interfaces. Meanwhile, documentary shots of Far Rockaway show the city’s attempt to manage disaster in real life: police patrol the shattered flood zone as citizens line up with jerry cans.

PROYECTOR crece y se transforma. Apuesta siempre por una redefinición de límites y formas para así evitar que sus ediciones sean réplicas unas de las otras. Se define como un espacio de reflexión y encuentro y como tal debe mutar año tras año. El objetivo por tanto es encontrar siempre nuevas formas de expresión y nuevos planteamientos dentro de la creación actual y escapar de respuestas y fórmulas cerradas.
El lanzamiento será el 16 de septiembre con una plataforma online que contenga el archivo de una parte de los trabajos que han pasado por el Festival y con el objetivo de posibilitar el visionado, la distribución, venta y alquiler de obras audiovisuales y potenciar las redes profesionales dentro del sector.
PROYECTOR/ PLATAFORMA ONLINE pretende plantear circuitos alternativos para la venta, alquiler, distribución y visionado del videoarte, de modo que se permita el acceso al mercado a un mayor número de creadores y al mismo tiempo surjan transacciones, contactos y públicos dinámicos propios de nuestros días. Se pretende además generar una estructura de asesoría en este sector, trabajando a la par con coleccionistas, galerías, museos y centros de arte.
Esta plataforma otorgará a PROYECTOR dos dimensiones de funcionamiento: una online (que se mantendrá activa a lo largo de todo el año) y otra offline (que estará vinculada a las actividades propiamente dichas a desarrollarse en Madrid y en otras ciudades). De este modo se ampliará exponencialmente el número de personas que visionan las obras y se maximizará el impacto mediático, al mismo tiempo que se pondrán en relieve cuestiones clave como es el delimitar los circuitos de mercado convencionales dentro del videoarte y la necesidad de realizar propuestas alternativas destinadas a movilizar dicho mercado.

writing, directing, pictorial design, editing, sound design, visual effects: Florian Fischer writing, directing, pictorial design, editing, sound design: Johannes Krell 2nd pictorial design (Steadicam): Morris Vianden 1st lighting design: Jonas Römmig film music: Alexander Schmidt dramaturgy consultant: Ginan Seidl Producer: Ray Peter Maletzki Producer: Stephan Helmut Beier “Cold Valley” describes the work processes in a strip mine where lime is mined and returned to nature in the form of forest liming. The plot constructs an absurd, but authentic cycle that hopes to counteract the irreversible consequences caused with the harvesting of raw materials, for instance. Something that starts in a descriptive way ends in a spherical alternative world that questions our ambivalent relationship to nature.

directing, camera, sound, editing: Ulu Braun Cast: Joachim Stargard (Speaker), John-Patrick Morarescu, Gina-Lisa Maiwald, Niina Lehtonen Braun, Valentin Lorenz, Milan Braun Music by Patric Catani, published by Edition Stora / Freibank Rather than reinventing the wheel, Ulu Braun re-envisions the structural potentiality of the brick, in this revisionist fable of mankind’s urbanization of our planet. Employing playful and visually dense digital collages, Braun’s associative tableaux collate an ‘alternate’ vision of our world, where nature invades the urban (and vice-versa). We’re transported by a comforting narrator through post-apocalyptic, post-capitalist habitats, where the material co-exists with the metaphysical, the literal alongside the figurative (soap-bubble buildings stand alongside ruined churches turned car dealerships). Architektura echoes our civilization’s childlike ingenuity in creation and destruction, as we question the inheritance we pass on to our future generations. (Andrei Tănăsescu, BIEFF)

2016
directing, camera, sound, editing: Mandy Krebs This silent portrait of a multipurpose compound that serves as a storage site, maximum security space, and luxury showroom slowly turns into a bizarre black-and-white science-fiction movie with the building as the main character. Despite its abstract nature, the meticulously composed rhythmic combination of austere, carefully framed shots lacking any other context is a fitting architectural commentary on the spirit of our era.
