The Schwules Museum (Gay Museum) in Berlin presents a
film and video screening.

How does one colorize the black and white stories of
the past? In what ways can we make history seem more
relevant, more interesting, and perhaps even sexier? 
What are the stories of individuals with
self-confidence and persistence that are very timely
and applicable even today? How can we make history
compete with the loud and colourful sex-appeal of the
images in our present-day culture? 

The Schwules Museum (Gay Museum) in Berlin is looking
for short films and videos to screen during the next
‘Long Museum Night – Between War and Peace’ on August
27, 2005. At the same time the museum will be
presenting two exhibitions: ‘Homage to Thomas Mann,’
and ‘Self-awareness and Persistence: 200 years of gay
history.’ The Museum is assembling a selection of
artist-submitted works that preferably deal with the
same themes as those present in our exhibitions.
During Long Museum Nights the Schwules Museum is
visited by more than 1,000 guests, so this is a great
opportunity to show your film or video to a large and
diverse audience.  

Deadline for entries:	EXTENDED TO June 5th
(postmarked). 
Acceptable formats:	DVD (PAL and NTSC), miniDV, and
VHS (PAL only). 
Duration of videos:	Up to 30 minutes (longer videos
will be considered).
