LaborBerlin is happy to invite you all to Diffraktion 13, the annual screening of films by members of the collective at City Kino Wedding on the 2nd of March starting at 2:00 PM featuring analog film screenings and performances.
For the second consecutive year the event will take place in collaboration with SPECTRAL, a project created by six European analog film labs that focuses on Expanded Cinema. Within this framework guest filmmakers Jürgen Reble and Alex MacKenzie will present two different performative approaches to the analog projection that redefine conventional notions of cinema.
In addition to that, the event will be preceded by a memorial screening of Nikolaus Tscheschner’s feature film Kalmenhofkinder- Ermordet und vergessen.
2:00 pm

Alchemie, Jürgen Reble, 16mm film performance, 45′
The Alchemy performance is a film and sound projection with the duration of approximate 45 minutes. The source material of this work decomposes itself during the show. Each Alchemy is thus an unique event. The work unfolds from a prepared film loop of 10 meter length, which is treated with chemicals during its projection.
