CineCinema is a joint project between Filmbüro (Bremen, Germany), FilmCentrum Syd (Malmö, Sweden), Hypnos Theatre (Malmö, Sweden) and På stubben (Huaröd, Sweden). With an ambition to emphasise what makes film making so unique as an art form – sound and image, and what reaches us beyond the limitations of rationality – we´d like to inspire you to break the boundaries of linear storytelling and simplified causality.
The unique qualities of sound and image, rhythm and editing, the visual symbols and the poetic possibilities of words in a cinematic context – that´s our focus!
Sounds interesting?
Well, in that case you can apply to participate in our three CineCinema days which will take place in Sweden in August 2022. We´ll kick off the 3 days at the Hypnos Theatre in Malmö, including film screenings, art installations and performances – a journey into a world of images and sound – in an attempt to let go of our limiting sense and reasons.
The remaining days will take place at the cultural centre På stubben, based in the middle of Skåne, in a forest far away from distracting city lights. By workshops, exchange of ideas, discussions and screenings we wish to approach the subject. Here within lies the concept of having film makers meet across borders. Maybe we can learn something from our neighbours? To gain artistic courage by meeting like-minded people outside the local community?
Together we will try to find inspiration in art forms other than film; like poetry, visual arts and performance, sound and music. We will live and discuss visions – big and small – together. We will search for ways to express ourselves within the art form of our choice – FILM.
We will also focus on inspiring thoughts and ideas about film projects, yours and the others, which hopefully will lead to creative solutions and enriching collaborations.
More details about the actual content will come shortly! Or just contact Johan Simonsson for more information.
CineCinema Days: August 11th – 14th, 2022

Who can apply?

FilmCentrum Syd is a non-profit organization – a place for independent filmmakers in the region of Skåne to create and to meet. The membership fee is 300 SEK/year.
