Saturday 7 November 2009, 19.00

In Escape from the Real, the tense condition of a capitalised and militarised world on one side and the repressive atmosphere of a dying state on the other side of the Wall are met with eeriness, ecstasy and the grotesque. In East and West, experimental filmmakers were strongly inspired by punk aesthetics and music. The programme creates a sensual journey into anarchic moods and resistance against the deadlocked reality of the Cold War. This programme presents films by Yana Yo, Claus Löser, Lysanne Thibodeau, Cornelia Klauß, Thomas Frydetzki, Christoph Doering, Ramona Köppel-Welsh and Die Tödliche Doris.
