PRÄSENTATION

Das TUWUN-Konzept steht für die territoriale Herkunft der Mapuche, die zusammen mit KVPALME, dem familiären Ursprung, die Mapuche-Identität repräsentiert, die in der LOF verwurzelt ist, einem territorialen Raum, der wiederum die Grundlage der angestammten territorialen Struktur eines breiteren Raums, der WALLMAPU, des gesamten Mapuche-Territoriums, bildet.

Dieses Konzept von Mapudungun, der Mapuche-Sprache, führt zu TUWUN Muestra de Cine Indígena de Wallmapu, das mit dem Ziel geschaffen wurde, durch das Kino diese Identität und die Realitäten bekannt zu machen, die sich aus dem Wissen der Vorfahren und der Art und Weise, wie es verstanden wird. Leben aus der Vision und Beziehung jedes Volkes zu seiner Umwelt, zu seinem Territorium, zu seiner eigenen Geschichte, Kultur und Spiritualität und damit aus ihrer eigenen Perspektive.

In diesem Sinne glauben wir, dass die TUWUN-Ausstellung eine wertvolle Gelegenheit darstellt, mehr darüber zu erfahren, wie das Leben anhand der eigenen Kultur der indigenen Völker verstanden wird, und dass sie ein wichtiger Ort ist, um die Perspektive und Realität zu teilen, die von ihren eigenen repräsentativen Stimmen durch das Kino zum Ausdruck gebracht werden. Sie tragen nicht nur zur Dezentralisierung von Kino und Kultur bei, sorgen für einen Zirkulationsprozess auf territorialer Ebene und machen die Wanderausstellung und ihre ergänzenden Aktivitäten einem breiten und vielfältigen Publikum in städtischen und ländlichen Gebieten zugänglich. Die teilnehmenden Werke werden in verschiedenen Räumen ausgestellt, z. B. in Mapuche-Gemeinden, Schulen und Kulturzentren in Städten, die im Allgemeinen Schwierigkeiten haben, das Kino zu erreichen, weil sie weit von großen städtischen Zentren entfernt sind, und schaffen auch Nvtram- (Konversations-) Räume rund um seine Inhalte.

HAUPTAKTIVITÄTEN

TUWUN ist eine indigene Filmausstellung, die hauptsächlich aus der Realisierung einer zentralen Ausstellung besteht, die jedes Jahr 4 Tage lang im städtischen Kulturzentrum von Villarrica stattfindet und von Aktivitäten in verschiedenen Bereichen der Stadt begleitet wird. Und von einer Wanderausstellung, die verschiedene Orte in Wallmapu, dem Ahnengebiet der Mapuche (Südchile und Argentinien), abdeckt und vom Monat nach der zentralen Ausstellung bis Juni des folgenden Jahres stattfindet. Für die Mapuche endet der Zyklus und beginnt erneut mit der Feier von Wiñoy Tripantu (Mapuche-Neujahr).

ERGÄNZENDE AKTIVITÄTEN

Im Rahmen von TUWUN entwickeln wir verschiedene ergänzende Aktivitäten, sowohl während der Zentralausstellung als auch während der Wanderausstellung. Dazu gehören ein TRAWUN (Treffen), Sondervorführungen von Gästen indigener Völker und der Mapuche, NVTRAMCINE (Kinoforen), TUWUN-Vorführungen im Rahmen anderer Film- und Kulturwettbewerbe, Vorführungen für Schulen und Gemeinden sowie spezielle Zyklen in der Sommersaison. Und ein Workshop zur Wertschätzung des Kinos mit Identität, den wir für die Schulung und Vermittlung mit verschiedenen Zielgruppen wie Kindern und Jugendlichen im schulpflichtigen Alter, Erwachsenen, Führungskräften von Organisationen, Mapuche-Gemeinschaften usw. konzipiert haben.

STRATEGISCHE ALLIANZEN

TUWUN Muestra de Cine Indígena de Wallmapu wird von ADKIMVN Cine y Comunicación Mapuche unter der Schirmherrschaft des städtischen Kulturzentrums LIQUEN und der berühmten Gemeinde Villarrica sowie in Zusammenarbeit mit einem Netzwerk von Organisationen, Kulturzentren, städtischen Kulturabteilungen, Mapuche-Gemeinden und Bildungszentren koordiniert und produziert.

Das XII International Short Film Festival „VISION“ wurde 2007 erstmals in Sibirien (Russland) ins Leben gerufen.
Das Festival zielt darauf ab, offizielle Auswahlfilme in drei Nominierungen zu demonstrieren: Fiction-Film, Dokumentarfilm, Animation; und beinhaltet eine Preisverleihung und Demonstration von Filmen außerhalb der Auswahl.

Das Festival veranstaltet auch Workshops von Filmkritikern und Regisseuren sowie Treffen mit kreativen Fachleuten.

Eine der wunderbaren Traditionen des „VISION“ Festivals ist die Abstimmung des Publikums. Neben der Fachjury kann das Publikum durch Ausfüllen von Fragebögen den besten Film auswählen.

Der beste Film, der vom Publikum ausgewählt wurde, wird mit einem Sonderpreis ausgezeichnet.

Der Slogan des Festivals „Teilen Sie Ihre Vision von der Welt“ ruft jeden jungen Regisseur dazu auf, seinen Blick auf die Welt zu visualisieren und mit dem Publikum zu teilen. Jedes Werk ist einzigartig und richtet sich an eine bestimmte Kategorie von Zuschauern. Es hilft, das Festivalprogramm vielfältig und vielseitig zu gestalten.

Films will be screened in the following categories:

I. Feature-length Documentary & Fiction Film (50 minutes or more)

II. Short Film (documentary, fiction, animation and musical videos) (up to 50 minutes)

III. Scientists-as-Filmmakers (up to 30 minutes)



Clarifications about the categories

Films about all scientific disciplines are considered
Categories I & II: national and international films
Category III: Swiss short films made by young scientists, research institutes or universities

Alongside the screening of 25 short films and two feature-length films, the audience engaged in meaningful discussions with the filmmakers during the moderated panel discussions.

Which is KAFFNY's motto: CONNECT. FUSE. REPEAT.

Now in its 7th year, Damnationland is an invitational Maine-based short genre fest. We work hard to feature the best filmmakers and films from Maine. Our premiere event draws over 800 excited film fans to the beautiful State Theater in Portland every year in early October. The program then tours all over Maine before moving on to festivals and other screenings around the world. Last year, we screened from Ohio to Singapore, with a couple stops between.

This year, we are adding an international film competition to our annual get-down. In 2017, Damnationland will be featuring independent films from across the world for the first time. No longer contained to the borders of Maine, Damnationland is now opening up a few precious slots to filmmakers from around the world.

The highlight of the program will still be the premiere of 7 Maine-made dark genre pieces at the State Theatre. It's a huge event, with over 800 film viewers lining up last year to see Maine's best. But this year we will be supplementing the Maine shorts with additional screenings. All weekend, we hope to show the best dark genre work from around the world.

We want to show filmmakers outside of the state what Maine can do, and expose their films to our own rabid Damnationland audience.

So send us your dark genre films! We are looking for things that are dark, scary, disturbing, seedy, or just downright weird. Take a look at the archive on our website to see what sort of films we feature.

We can promise you great crowds for your screenings and a great time in one of the best small cities in the country. Winners will also receive a travel stipend to attend the festival here in Maine in mid-October. Our primary goal is to get you here. You show us your film, and the we can show you ours!
