INTERFILM 40: Embodiment 03: Crossing Boundaries

Boundaries – who establishes them, who crosses them, and what happens when they are violated? This program explores moral, geographical, societal and personal boundaries. How do the protagonists react as soon as their boundaries have been crossed, and what effect does that have on us? The films here strikingly demonstrate how tightly physical and psychological vulnerability are entwined and how we can set, communicate and perhaps even break down our own boundaries as well 

Welcome to the 40th INTERFILM Festival!

Four decades of DIY, punk and absolute madness – INTERFILM is back and celebrating: Bodies! In a world that unceasingly subjects bodies to norms and treats them like commodities, we are reclaiming them. Every wrinkle, every gesture, every imperfection is unique and writes its own (hi)stories. Like bodies, our festival has also gone through transformations of its own – it's grown, stretched, regrouped, while remaining fluid and hungry for the new. To you, our cells as it were, we provide handpicked films – vibrant, diverse and the furthest thing from monotonous.

For our 40th anniversary we are not only putting a focus on Embodiment but are also looking back at our beginnings: Berlin in the 1980s - a city full of anger, thirst for action and resistances. Rebellious bodies on Super 8 film had become beloved among DIY artist, who told their stories in clubs, cafés and upon the Wall. »We were all dilettants, they called us ingenious.« Born out of street fights, wild fashion shows and rebellious projections, INTERFILM became a platform for everything that dares to resist.

Come and experience the energy! Our screens will turn to skin, upon which all that is raw, imperfect and alive can be seen!
