5th Moon: Meet the Makers (032)
Fell welcome to meet five filmmakers of the 5th Moon Programme T-shirts, moustaches and latent theories - artistic manifestos and embodiments.
Some of them will show excerpts from their films, others we will talk to about work in progress, identity constructions of the last decades and artistic practice, still others prefer to talk to you directly over a drink at the bar. No long frontal programme, it should be a relaxed evening with enough time for personal interactions.
The film lounge will be open in the evening. However, due to the abundance of the programme, it is worthwhile to have watched the films beforehand. From May, 15th till June, 12th they can be seen during the general opening hours at the Schwules Museum.
