VIDEOAKTION is a two-day anti-salon for experimental film and video, organised by attaque[e]r le visible. It presents contemporary experiments with moving images in an informal and non-competitive way, and puts them up for discussion. The focus is on coming together, exchanging ideas, and, of course, the current state of experimentation and the potential of cinematic and media interventions in the visible. We are curious about all formats, including analogue, digital, AI, ciné-performance, ciné-poem and expanded cinema. A total of approximately 30 selected films and videos will be screened in four programme blocks over two evenings. On the third day, there will be a film workshop aimed at creating a collaborative film.

attaque[e]r le visible is an experimental film platform for projections, meetings, talks, book presentations and lectures. Older experimental films as well as the most recent developments of the genre find a place here. attaque[e]r le visible is dedicated to films which perturb the consistency and illusionism of the classical film by consciously referring to the technical embeddedness of the film, its incoherence and materiality. The works on display are marked by refusing stereotypical images and linear narration, their critical position towards the co-world, normative visibilities, forms and bodies. In short, it is about films which do not trust the self-evident, and for which the word ‘normally’ does not exist.
