Film Festival with Short, Experimental Films and More
9. – 11. April 2021 – Online and Onsite Screenings
Berlin, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City

Emerged in the time of social isolation, the festival seeks another mode of connecting, exchanging and getting into conversation through a journey of moving images. With 17 films by 11 artists, we take a closer look on Asia as the main focus: a complex encyclopaedia of cultures, politics and societies which are triggers of the topics in the movies of our programme. The films are set up into two parts available online for 24 hours each, followed by the online discussion “Pandemic Cinema” on the final day.

The films will be screened online via Website and the conversation will be held online on “zoom” for more information and registration follow here or check our website.

NONFLIX Conversation
“Pandemic Cinema”
Berlin and Worldwide

The online conversation Pandemic Cinema focuses on making films and organizing events in the pandemic era. NONFLIX’s artists, filmmakers and organisers share their experiences about working processes and visions on the future of arts and movies. Considering Asia as a norm, the conversation will carry out issues of the norm-taker and the norm-maker between Asia and Europe/America in NONFLIX moving images.

It will be organized as a roundtable discussion.
