The OderKurz-Filmspektakel is a short film festival in the German state of Brandenburg, which will take place from 17 – 18 May 2019 at the Theater am Rand. For one weekend the famous wooden theater, Theater am Rand, far away from civilization near the Polish border, is transformed into an island of exceptional short films of all genres and a refuge where the films can be discussed and reflected upon. One of the most important goals of the spectacle is to strengthen the role of films in rural areas. Consequently we want to present high quality productions far from large metropolitan areas.
Our spectacle encompasses both a national and international competition, a children’s program and a night program. The winning films of this year’s competition will be shown in fall in our Rolling Cinema in seven east German cities.
There is no fixed entrance fee and at the end of the evening, the audience donates whatever contribution they choose. Pay what you think we need!
In March 2016 the “Randwirtschaft” Bar and Restaurant was opened. Besides a small selection of menu items, the bar serves cocktails in a very special setting.
Also available on site is a small campground. For those, who would prefer their own bed, it is possible to book a local room through the “Schlafplatz am Rand” agency.
Reviews
Ashmina (2018)
Ashmina seeks self-determination in a patriachal society
The film shows a young woman in Nepal, who wants a more self-determined life and thereby encounters social and family boundaries. It is frightening, as the story also reminds of our own holiday experiences with locals and the arrogance of western travelers hurts. The film is quietly told, but has a certain tension in the background. It stimulates reflection and is aesthetically pleasing.
Bonboné (2017)
"Bonbone" has a broad thematic spectrum
The short movie "Bonbone" has a broad thematic spectrum.
It deals with dreams and wishes of a couple becoming a free family and how they use mental creativity to follow their dreams even in the most dangerous situations.
Also a part of the short movie is the confilct of Israel and Palestine, as well as the meaning of a wall and what it does to the people.
The artwork inspires to think about political walls, but in the same time it tells a story about humanity and pure emotions.
It portrais in a short film individual dreams, restricted freedom of human being and global borders.
