Have you ever had this problem: your ideas won’t fit the format, whether it was 4:3, or even 16:9?
Ever thought of changing your position, or turning the camera around?
Try it: all of a sudden things appear totally different.
We recommend ‘high format’ (portrait/vertical format) for “out-of-the-box thinking”.
For the video festival “parole: hochformat” in autumn 2010, bildwechsel is looking for short videos in ‘high format’.
‘parole: hochformat’ can be seen as a request to artists and to audiences to change position alongside a changing video format (from landscape to portrait).
It is an invitation to take note, to position one’s self and to change one’s position.
is therefore the motto of this call for films.
all contributions must be made in ‘high format’.
videos should not exceed 5 mins.
formats: dvd, vhs, minidv
submission deadline is 20th august 2010 more
bildwechsel was invited to take part in the panel discussion on Queer DIY – Art, Activism & Film making at Entzaubert – queer D.I.Y. International Film Festival Berlin.
From the program:
“This Panel addresses some questions of DIY creative self-production in the queer community: What is DIY? Is art-making a form of activism? and how? How can queer DIY film- and art-making subvert dominant discourses (capitalism, heteronormativity, racism and other oppressions)? Solo-practice vs. collaboration: How is autonomous self-representation and -production enacted by these different modes of working? What is the impact of community support (queer film festivals, archives, distribution) on queer culture and activism?
Presentations by Liz Rosenfeld, Thirza Cuthand, Vika Kirchenbauer, Ho Tsm, bildwechsel, and other filmmakers and curators, both local and international. Followed by open discussion for all. Come with ideas and questions!„

The 2nd of June is the International Day for Sex Workers’ Rights. All over the world, sex workers are facing a variety of problems: Their work is not fully accepted due to taboos, discrimination, police harassment, ostracism. Sometimes, their access to health and social services is denied. We take this day as an occasion to show some international short films, that partly where made in the sex workers’ movements.
