Urban Research 2014 OPEN CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Urban Research is a special film program during the Berlin
International Directors Lounge concerned with urban themes curated by
Klaus W. Eisenlohr. For years the urban landscape has been under
rapid change. Due to the increased economic pressure and shift
towards mono-functional uses of the city, public space more and more
vanishes. The newly awakened interest in old city centers, which is a
rather positive development, has also created new demands in
conjunction with the deregulations of national and municipal city
tasks: the city has mainly become an object for real estate
investment. On the other hand, new waves for urban movements towards
a democratic renewal have appeared.

It may be surprising that in this field of creative expression,
experimental film has found a renaissance, often in conjunction with
analog methods. Also a diversity of documentary forms have arisen
anew. Creative film nowadays uses a multitude of traditions mixing
and recombining the white-cube gallery art, classical avant-garde,
classic cinema and the tube, performance and new media, happening and
radical activism. Concerning creative production and critical
discussions, there seems to have been an increased interest in public
space and urban themes. In addition the classical "theatre screening"
seems to meet a new interest. Artists working in a diversity of
fields have discovered again the "single channel" format as an easy
way for presentation and discussing work on international platforms
without the complications and the distribution costs of extended
installations.

Urban Research 2014 will be first presented at the Berlin
International Directors Lounge 6-16 February 2014. The program has
also been presented internationally in screenings in London,
Mannheim, Hannover, Poznan, Freiburg, Essen, Dordrecht, Senigallia,
St. Petersburg and Berlin.
