SHORT FILMS AND VIDEOS FROM THE BALTIC COUNTRIES

In the framework of the exhibition “mit allem rechnen. Media art from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania” the Internationale Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen present three programmes with short films and videos from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Films from the three Baltic countries have been continuously present at the Internationale Kurzfilmtage, for example through the work of Deimantas Narkevicius (Lithuania), Jaan Toomik (Estonia) and Laila Pakalnina (Lathvia).

The programmes present films and videos from the last ten years, among them short documentaries, experimental artists’ videos and fictional formats. A broad spectrum of artistic approaches will be presented depicting societies in transition – individual border crossings and collective uncertainties, self-reflections, social analyses and (more or less radical) re-evaluations of one’s own condition. Each screening will be followed by a discussion with the participating artists, moderated and hosted by the Kurzfilmtage.
