The exhibition Hollerer/Marte brings together Austrian filmmaker and performance artist Sabine Marte (*1967)—winner of last year’s Diagonale prize for innovative filmmaking—and internationally acclaimed Austrian sculptor Clemens Hollerer (*1975).

A screening of four films by Ben Rivers, presented as part of the 8th London Short Film Festival, in association with Animate Projects.<br />
<br />
I KNOW WHERE I’M GOING (Ben Rivers, 29min)<br />
ORIGIN OF THE SPECIES (Ben Rivers, 16min)<br />
THIS IS MY LAND (Ben Rivers, 14min)<br />
A WORLD RATTLED OF HABIT (Ben Rivers, 10min)<br />
<br />
After the screening Ben Rivers will be in conversation with artist filmmaker Andrew Kötting, who he has collaborated with on a number of film projects, including the short documentary Offshore.<br />
<br />
Ben Rivers’ practice as a filmmaker treads a line between documentary and fiction. Often following and filming people who have in some way separated themselves from society, the raw film footage provides Rivers with a starting point for creating oblique narratives imagining alternative existences in marginal worlds. Rivers uses near-antique cameras and often hand-develops the 16mm film, which shows all the evidence of the elements it has been exposed to, forming part of the narrative. I Know Where I’m Going<br />
in particular moves further towards a vision of post-apocalyptic Earth and its remaining inhabitants.<br />

Govett-Brewster Art Gallery
11 December 2010 – 27 February 2011

Govett-Brewster Art Gallery presents Points of Contact: Jim Allen, Len Lye, Hélio Oiticica, an exhibition that traces the historical and conceptual connections between New Zealand artist Jim Allen (b.1922), a significant figure in the development of post-object practices in New Zealand, and two of his greatest influences: expatriate experimental filmmaker and kinetic sculptor Len Lye (1901-1980) and Brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica (1937–1980).

Now in our 18th year, The Chicago Underground Film Festival exists to showcase the defiantly independent filmmaker. Our mission is to promote films and videos that experiment in form, technique, or content and to present adventurous works that challenge and transcend expectations…if you suspect your film is "underground," it probably is.<br />
<br />
Founded in 1994, The Chicago Underground Film Festival is dedicated to the work of film and video makers with defiantly independent visions. Unlike many other "independent" film events our goal is not to imitate old guard, market-driven festivals such as Sundance. Instead we seek to create our own particular niche by presenting an accessible, user-friendly showcase for Avant-Garde and cult cinema. CUFF presents a wide range of work exploring the many definitions and interpretations of the concept of "underground". From alternative music films and political agitprop to high camp and formal experimentation. We like films that go beyond expectations and genre, films made with passion, obsession and drive. The Chicago Underground Film Festival is an official program of IFP/Chicago<br />

Bio:Fiction Filmfestival announces over 9000 € in prize-money for Synthetic Biology film projects<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Final Deadline for film entries: 1st of December 2010<br />
<br />
<br />
Synthetic biology aims at creating new forms of life for practical purposes. Synthetic biology is the design and construction of new biological systems not found in nature. By applying engineering principles to biology scientists will be able to design life forms much different from breeding or traditional genetic engineering.<br />
<br />
We want to encourage filmmakers to produce and share their cinematic visions of a present or future society shaped by synthetic biology. What is your view on a world living with synthetic life forms? Your approach is up to you – the filmmaker, scientists or artist – the entries can be on science, fiction, or science fiction. We welcome live-action short film, animation, experimental or documentary film. Synthetic biology has to be reflected somehow in the work, but how you do it is up to you.<br />
<br />
Prizes will be awarded in the following categories:<br />
<br />
Bio:Fiction Award – Short Fiction 2500 €<br />
Bio:Fiction Award – Documentary Film 2500 €<br />
Bio:Fiction Award – Animation 2500 €<br />
Online-Audience Award 1000 €<br />
Special Award of the Jury 500 €<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Bio:Fiction- Science, Art & Filmfestival aims at attracting public awareness to synthetic biology and its ramifications for our daily life in the future.<br />
<br />
<br />
On http://www.bio-fiction.com you will find more useful and inspiring information on synthetic biology, the entry form, teasers and the regulations of the filmfestival.<br />
The nominated films will be presented in public at the festival event in Vienna, Austria from the 13th-14th of May 2011. The Bio:Fiction Award ceremony will build the highlight of the festival.<br />
<br />
The final deadline for film entries is the 1st of December 2010<br />
