Now the film is finished, possibly it is even a first film. But what to do now? Especially for short films, festivals are often the only places where they reach a public (apart from the internet), but the festival landscape seems like an impenetrable jungle: thousands of festivals worldwide, submission platforms, submission fees, commercial dis-tribution organizations etc. This workshop will focus on some basic considerations for a meaningful festival strategy for short films.

As an artist, writer, and filmmaker, I‘ve spent my career exploring the intersections of art, technology, and politics. I view film and new media as powerful tools for cultural critique and social change. It is all about challenging the status quo and pushing boundaries. In this workshop, we‘ll examine the history of avant-gar-de cinema and its enduring influence on contemporary art and media, and explore the works of a diverse range of artists and filmmakers who are using film and new media to express their ideas and critique society. Through hands-on exercises and group discussions, I‘ll share my personal techniques for using film and new media to explore social and political themes.

The talk will focus on different ways of designing virtual environ-ments through participatory processes, crowdsourced data and material translations. We will unfold our working methods, our approach to interactive virtual environments and the prevailing issue of media specificity. As a matter of consequence, we will elaborate on the potential of media transfer and its generative, productive and imaginary force in the making of experimental documentaries and essayistic virtual spaces. The lecture will be accompanied by a demonstration of our collaborative work and will also include hands-on workshop sessions.

A photographer and filmmaker, Telemach works with the tension between still and moving images. Shot exclusively in analog, his black-and-white works are visual poems, studies of human travel, and witnesses to the often bizarre traces of human activity. Following the idea of a „travel typewriter,“ the filmmaker collects his images on the road with a 16mm camera. The precisely composed shots, mar-ked by coincidences, convey the uniqueness of this craft. The mostly static images give time for reflection and open the space for a variety of associations.
Telemach Wiesinger studied Visual Communication at unsthochschule Kassel. He runs a studio for analogue cinematography and teaches at various Universities. His works are shown internationally at film festivals, program-me cinemas and other art spaces.
