WE WANT YOU...
to produce a Re-Education-Film!

HAU/Hebbel-am-Ufer Berlin is hosting an Online-Video-Competition in line with the Thematic Weekend "Re-Education".

How can you bring to reason a whole nation who's diagnosis reads "Paranoia"? How can you convert believers in fascism to democratic ideas? This question was answered by the Allied Forces by developing a comprehensive programme of "Re-Education". In prisoner-of-war-camps one learned to argue and within a short time after the end of the war, the first Atrocity Pictures were shown. These Films contained mainly documentary material which should create a sense of guilt within the German population for their crimes committed in the concentration camps. After the end of World War II, George C. Marshall in 1947 declared the reconstruction of Europe to a matter of the US-policy. The Marshall plan, an extensive Aid-programme for an economic revival of Western Europe was accompanied by a gigantic information offensive that should on the one hand appreciate the reconstruction work of the US and on the other hand was meant to implement democratic concepts in the heads of citizens of former fascist states. The crucial tool within this programme was the medium film. Attending the weekly newsreel could be declared obligatory and an effective antidote against fascism. Films like "Me and Mr. Marshall" or "Village without Words" were meant to depict Democracy in a comprehensible way and thus create a positive world view.

You too can be like us!

In the forefront of the thematic Weekend "Re-Education" which will take place from 18th to 19th of January 2008 on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Hebbel-theatre, we are hosting a Video-Competition in the sense of the subject, in which everyone interested is asked to deal with Re-Education-Film as an expressive form.

We encourage you to

-deal artistically with past (Marshall Plan, Japan) or present (Iraq, Afghanistan) forms of Re-Education: From analysis to critique, parody, re-enactment or performance.

-work with archive material and found footage: retrieve exceptionally obscure, interesting, questionable or convincing examples of cinematic propaganda and make them accessible for a broader public.

-shoot a Re-Education-Film for the present: For which (good) cause would you like to create media-publicity today?

You are totally free in the format you are shooting on: Everything is possible from Super 8 to mobile video. What counts is an inventive and original idea.

Participation

To participate, just upload your video on Youtube, the 21st century medium for Re-Education. Become a member of our group http://youtube.com/group/reeducation

Main prize for the best video is a Nokia N95 multimedia phone (worth 700 Euros).
