“how do you do” – global queer video notes

We are looking for video letters and postcards

How you are doing and what’s going on?

We’d love to hear from you!

It might be about what life is like for you right now, being a queer / artist / activist / cultural worker / renegade / adventurer / thinker and doer, about the things you find currently relevant. We want to know what’s going on with you and where you’re at.

Send us your films!

Ideas about and around the idea of gardens and gardening, fantasy gardens, science fiction, artist gardens, gender, sexuality and the garden, queer gardening, feminism and the garden, animations, music videos, experimental, documentary, activist films…. films old and new would be lovely, or maybe you have something you’d like to make especially for the programme?

We are excited and absolutely fascinated to see what you have to suggest.

The first screening is already fixed for the 24th May in London. Other screenings in other cities will follow – the programme will certainly tour!

the first video is “der zeitpuffer (the timecookie)” from *durbahn 2010, 7,5m b/w (sorry – no english version yet) another 49 videos will follow one by one
