The film night will be opened by a conversation on the recent publication:
The Films of ELLA RAIDEL – Of Haunted Spaces
Cinema, Heterotopias, and China’s Hyperurbanization

Short film workshop “Fabulating Histories / Geschichte(n) Erzählen”

in cooperation with the HTBLA Hallstatt, the municipality of Hallstatt and the Kulturbunt Hallstatt cultural association.
For the short film workshop we invite everyone interested in film, the hidden histories of places, and architecture to join us in Hallstatt from 9-11.6.23 to bring their own archive recordings from the region, or from family albums, flea markets, old postcards or brochures, 8mm films or home videos, which we then take for the “Fabulating Histories / Geschichte(n) Erzählen” workshop as source material to approach the history of the region, but also individual personal stories. The workshop results will be presented as part of a later Blickpunkte screening.
Max 15 participants, open to all ages, under 15 with adult companion. Registration at [email protected]. Registration deadline: 29.05.23.
