International Short Film Festival

Lichtburg Filmpalast, Oberhausen

Special programs and retrospectives of the
49th INTERNATIONAL SHORT FILM FESTIVAL OBERHAUSEN, 1-6 MAY 2003

Special program:

RE < LOKAL > IZATION
The short film is uniquely suited to confronting current issues and topics in a multifaceted, innovative and experimental manner, and the thematic focus of our special programs pays tribute to this characteristic quality.
Are globalisation and its counter-movement, localisation, two aspects of one and the same development? How do filmmakers portray people's longing for identity and for clear lines of demarcation? To what extent does "local" imagery resist global understanding?
In the special program re < local > ization, curators from Southeast Asia, North and South America, North Africa and Europe will submit their own specific views on these questions as topics for discussion. The 14 individual programs deal with various aspects of the theme, such as regionalism, territorialism, roots and family, demarcation/exclusion and inner world/outside world.
Curated and organised by Bady Minck, Vienna/Luxemburg and Katrin Mundt, Bochum Guest curators: Pimpaka Towira, Bangkok; Keiko Araki, Tokyo; Marina Grzinic, Ljubljana; Ian White, London; Mark Nash, London/Cambridge, Mass.; Catherine David, Rotterdam/Paris; Viola Shafik, Cairo; Claudio Caldini, Buenos Aires.

FILM < LOKAL >
in co-operation with the Siemens Arts Program
In the context of the special program re < local > ization, five artists will each set up a different installation in the festival cinema. Each day of the festival a new work will be installed, available for viewing on that day only. The artists Dominique Gonzales-Foerster, Markus Schinwald, Thomas Steffl, Costa Vece and Albert Weis will reflect on place, situation and medium.

Specials:

KLAUS LEMKE/RUDOLF THOME/MAX ZIHLMANN
The so-called "Munich Group" surrounding Lemke, Thome and Zihlmann has always been considered something of a counter-movement to the "Oberhauseners". Now appearing in Oberhausen after all, their short films, some as completely new prints, offer a look at one of the liveliest phases of German cinema.

DUSAN MAKAVEJEV
In 2003 Makavejev, perhaps the most well-known living Yugoslavian filmmaker, celebrates his 50th anniversary in film. To mark this occasion, the Short Film Festival will for the first time present his extensive short film oeuvre in a coherent program and in the presence of the director himself.

MARINA GRZINIC and AINA SMID
These two artists have worked together for the last 20 years, producing over 30 video art projects, one short film, numerous media installations and one CD-ROM. In a special feature entitled "The Zero Before the One" the Short Film Festival will show a selection of their acclaimed works on video.

For the first time in Germany, the Short Film Festival will present a program of films by Claudio Caldini, one of South America's most influential filmmakers and video artists. Featured works will include productions on video and Super 8 from the 70s to the present.
