activities. The theme also includes the offensive struggle to be creative,
without waiting for no longer-working structures of film-subsidiaries. The
medium video shall be understood not only as an alternative to the long
tradition of celluoid, but also in it´s unique aesthetics. ?Film- and
Videolook? will be concerned in the programming. The festival ist supposed
to offer a stage for all productions and producers who are unable to find
broad resonance due to the economic situation of the cultural landscape.
It aims at highlighting innovative ways and means that enable producers to
nonetheless create amazing works. It intends to stimulate the exchange of
these innovative solutions before, during and after the festival. What is
more, it ought not to be a festival where only a few works are exhibited

projects with colleagues and experts and to gather information and advice.
