Animation and "real film" come together almost seamlessly in the work of Kim Collmer, connecting creative fantasy with space and place. The artist who lives in Köln was born in Seattle. She studied Art History and German in Washington and Sculpture and Animation in Chicago. She works with video, installation, and painting/collage. For her films, she uses an amazing variety of materials both in front of the camera as in her editing process.

Stephanie Hanna conceives her videos in a process of combining performances, texts, video and audio recordings. Her works often incorporate collaborations with other artists, viewers or passers-by. The Berlin-born artist returned to her hometown after receiving a BA in stage design in Utrecht. Back in Berlin, she also received a Master in “Art in Context” at UdK.

Berlin-based Jakob Kirchheim and Teresa Delgado present poetry films and Kirchheim linocut-printed films.

Metaphors combine beauty with a call for a better life. The Berlin artist Maria Korporal studied in the Netherlands and was working and living in Italy until 2013. Her videos, installations and performances show a strong technical affinity, while at the same time, the content of her works often criticizes the Western and economically oriented civilization. Her films are hybrid combinations of recorded video footage, animated text and digital animations from drawings and photographs. Often inspired by lyrics, they could be read as visual poetry or video aphorisms.
