Gewächshaus Network

We all have distinct experiences and skills to share with each other: Gewächshaus invites filmmakers of color to join monthly collaborative working sessions. While fostering a relaxed atmosphere for exchange, everyone will have time to work on their own stuff. Additionally, inspiring personalities from the film world are invited to our gatherings to share their work, hands on experience, and creative path. LEARNING FROM THE BEST emphasizes peer-to-peer interaction within a safer working space for filmmakers affected by structural racism. The program aims to equip filmmakers with the knowledge they need to navigate and succeed in the film industry. The Coworking Circle is a project of Gewächshaus - BIPOC Film Network in cooperation with Brunnenpassage in the framework of Cultural Transformation Movement (CTM). Let’s create a network of changemakers to catalyze the film industry and shift existing power dynamics! Participation is free. We kindly ask to register under community[at]gewaechshaus.network *BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Colour in the DACH context) refers to racially marginalized individuals, including migrants, post-migrants, Black, Asian, Jewish, Muslim, Sinti*zze und Rom*nja, and people affected by structural racism. CTM is co-financed by the EU program Creative Europe and the Bundeskanzleramt für Kunst, Kultur, öffentlicher Dienst und Sport. Gewächshaus Coworking Circle is co-financed by VdFS - Verwertungsgesellschaft der Filmschaffenden and Filmfonds Wien.

Thank you to Hofer Filmtage for inviting us to be part of AlpenDating! It was super interesting to get in direct conversation about our vision for the German-speaking film industry and meeting our colleagues from Austria, Germany, Switzerland and South-Tyrol. We are looking forward to working together in the future! 📽️ALPEN DATING: Nachwuchsproduzent*innen 📽️ Für junge Filmschaffende aus Österreich, Südtirol, der Schweiz und Bayern gibt es 2024 ein eigenes Branchenevent bei den Hofer Filmtagen: Das „AlpenDating – Forum aufstrebender Produktionstalente aus dem Alpenraum“. Dafür wurden Nachwuchsproduzent*innen aus den drei Regionen in einem intensiven Bewerbungsprozess ausgewählt. Das Event in Hof umfasst Pitchings, Round Tables mit TV-Sendern und Filmvertrieben sowie Vertreter*innen der Förderinstitutionen. Gemeinsame Abendessen, Kinoscreenings und der traditionelle FFF Brunch am letzten Tag des AlpenDatings bieten ebenfalls ausreichend Zeit, um Verbindungen aufzubauen. Das abwechslungsreiche Programm ist eine gemeinsame Initiative der Filmförderinstitutionen Österreichisches Filminstitut, IDM Südtirol-Alto Adige Film Commission Südtirol, Zürcher Filmstiftung und FilmFernsehFonds Bayern. Gemeinsam wird damit intensiver Austausch unterstützt mit dem Ziel, dass die Nachwuchsproduzent*innen ein starkes und zukunftsträchtiges Netzwerk knüpfen.

Insightful talk with Karina Griffith, Emily Hong, and Weina Zhao, moderated by Djamila Codou Anges Grandits.  🎬 Key Highlights from the Speakers: Karina Griffith illuminated the complexities of Black authorship, the struggle for access to archives, and the importance of sustainable reparative practices. She discussed the ambiguity of navigating archival spaces and how translocality challenges the significance of nationalities. 𝘌𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘏𝘰𝘯𝘨 addressed colonial legacies within anthropology and the responsibility involved in presenting archives. She advocated for decolonizing the process, moving away from extractive practices, and actively working together to reshape the narratives told about diasporic communities. Emily emphasized the power of multisensory experiences and the importance of non-human and land connections in ancestral knowledge. Weina Zhao raised critical questions about diasporic archives and shared her personal journey of uncovering diaspora histories. She highlighted the often-disregarded role of emotional archives. Additionally, she addressed issues related to film copyrights and highlighted the disparities in funding and filming locations. Prior to the talk, we had an intense kick-off workshop for the new initiative D—Arts Spot on Film, that spurred discussion about making the film industry more equitable and inclusive. We exchanged ideas about necessary changes in film policy, how to effectively support communities, and what proactive steps in every area of film production can be taken to drive these changes.
