FRACTO 2021




Fifth edition of FRACTO Experimental Film Encounter

FRACTO Experimental Film Encounter is proud to announce its fifth edition and invites Berlin audiences to once again immerse themselves in 4 days of film screenings, talks, performances and happenings, taking place between the 21st and the 24th of October 2021 at Kunsthaus ACUD, in Berlin Mitte.
The underlying theme of the 2021 edition is Appropriation, where we explore how our contemporary realities and their environment are lensed, configured, contextualised and re-contextualised.
In addition to the program dedicated to Austrian avant-garde filmmaker Peter Tscherkassky, we will show Scorched Ground - Appropriation and Found Footage in Finnish Artists’ Moving Images, a program curated by Kari Yli-Annala.
For this compilation dealing with found images and other traces, Kari Yli-Annala has chosen Finnish artists’ moving image works where the original materials have been given a new life, and the use of technology by humans as well as the scars or scorched marks of history are paid special attention. Like all bodies, film bodies can grow old and damaged yet still express lived vividity. The traces of the past are not resurrections but are rather being remembered as living entities within new bodies of moving images. The program will include works by Miia Rinne, Mika Taanila, Seppo Renvall, Sami van Ingen, Saara Ekström, Elina Oikari, Juha van Ingen and Jarkko Räsänen.
The side program organised by Occulto will present textîles – threading speculative archipelagoes, an interdisciplinary project by Filippo Bertoni, Alice Cannavà, Chiara Garbellotto and Sybille Neumeyer. The digital project makes landfall at FRACTO 2021 as a performative space where facts and fictions about textile artifacts and practices can be reclaimed from an archipelago of alternate worlds and spun anew.
Furthermore, we will show
Meanwhile, the selection process for contemporary films is underway. We have received a diverse range of films and would like to express our gratitude to all filmmakers who submitted their work. The final selection will be announced closer to the festival date.
The 2021 edition of FRACTO is funded by the Österreichisches Kulturforum Berlin, Frame Contemporary Art Finland and the Finland-Institut in Deutschland.
