We focus our attention on bodies, the politics of bodies,
embodiment and the body in film, and explore corporeality and its
relationship to the camera.

Which bodies appear in which (filmic)
spaces, and how? How are contemporary strands of social discourse
reflected in bodies, particularly in the ways they are represented? Questions of representation are invariably questions of
perspective too: What new modes of "showing" are filmmakers developing
to counter traditional representations of and narratives about
marginalised and racialised bodies, and how do these operate as both
political act and discourse?
In this connection, we consider it important to emphasise
that the selected films are not capable of covering the full diversity
of all bodies. For too long, a certain universal validity was ascribed
to individual films, or they even staked out such a claim for
themselves.
However, our programs do contain concrete excerpts from
lived realities. For that is precisely what these bodies are: lived
realities. They are not tags, not labels, not issues. Still, when our
bodies become political bodies, the private becomes the public. We seek
to shed light on processes of liberation from both external projections
and internal struggles with our own bodies.
Because short film remains
militant, progressive and a means of individual expression!
