LaborBerlin is happy to invite you all on the 19th and 20th of April to Martin Moolhuijsen’s presentation at S.P.A.C.E. in Wiesenstraße 29, the residency space that LaborBerlin is running in the context of the SPECTRAL project.

LaborBerlin film collective presents:
DIFFRAKTION 12, its annual showcase of new works on film by its members and friends: Jan Kulka, Luis Macías, Polyzysten, Martin Moolhuijsen, Jan Peters, Minze Tummescheit, Luciana Mazeto, Vinícius Lopes and Arne Hector, Laurence Favre and Xavier Bauer, OJOBOCA

For its 12th edition, DIFFRAKTION presents an evening of films, installations and performances by local and international artists exploring analog film's eye-opening and mind-altering qualities.

LaborBerlin is pleased to present a programme with films by members of our fellow filmlab Harkat Lab from Mumbai. Harkat Lab was founded three years ago as part of Harkat Studios, a production company who turn their space into an off-space on several evenings a week, showing a diverse program of theater plays and concerts. Based on this existing community, Harkat Lab have evolved over the past three years in terms of personnel, technology and space, and established international connections.

In spite of claims of its obsolescence, analog film is still alive. It continues to exist as an inimitable artistic medium, put to use in myriad forms around the world. Nonetheless, in the context of our ever-expanding digital landscape, analog film faces new challenges that have forced it into a process of deep transformation. What steps do we need to take to guarantee that analog film will remain as a living-breathing medium? What are the alternatives to the idea of film as an obsolete, historical object?
