Politics go on, the world goes on, film goes on, the analogous cause goes on, the digital cause goes on, seasons go on, life goes on, our teeth get worse, but the bite stays. We are delighted – this year, GEGENkino turns 5! And we’re still thirsty for action! The quest for extravaganza, peculiarities and potentials of cinema continues. Once again, we want to render film and video visible in their uncomfortable, courageous and involving facets, illuminate relevant contexts and argue about its sensual entanglements.
GEGENkino takes place from April 05 until April 15, 2018 at UT Connewitz, Luru Kino in der Spinnerei, Institut fuer Zukunft, Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst / Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig & Schaubühne Lindenfels.

Walden – Filmworkshop mit Julia Lazarus
Out of the void! GEGENkino’s returning this year with its 5th edition!
This year (April 05 – 15, 2018), our central focus are the topics of protest and resistance. How can film behave and positiion itself considering the reality happening all around it? What logics and formats succeed in reaching for the empathetic sensors of the audience—how does a movement on screen get into the brains of the people?
Find a few answers maybe or some more questions emanating from these questions at GEGENkino 2018.
The logo design was done – as you may’ve recognized already – by beloved Raging Eyeball Ricaletto, as always responsible for GEGENgraphics. Check this out: http://ricaletto.blogsport.de
