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.

An encounter between a film artist with two 16mm projectors, and two improvising musicians ; a violinist and a guitarist. The will to propose a frictional dialogue between sounds and images, without a hierarchy between both medium : sounds can go with the images, as well causing them, incite them, confront them… images can initiate the mouvements, as well as melt into them. The will to experiment the fragility of a communication between loops on celluloid, expressing itself in a mechanical time, and the organic expression of wooden vibrant instruments.

After the success of the international symposium on current development in analogue film culture: “Film in the Present Tense”; LaborBerlin e.V. is proud to present the eighth edition of DIFFRAKTION, the annual showcase highlighting new works (including premiers!) by LaborBerlin members on Saturday, 10 February 2018.
