Mural Short Film Screening Vol. 3.3

Thursday – 23.05.2024 – 18:00

Mural is a series of film screenings that aims to celebrate the work of FLINTA/BIWOC/BIPOC filmmakers – more specifically artists with a migration or refugee background – platforming films made with skill and imagination despite the difficulties these artists face accessing resources, spaces and funding. We showcase a wide variety of genres and visual experiments in order to build an alternative space through which to present our voices to the world. With fragments assembled from collective memory, we enrich our visual imagination and in doing so create our own mural.

Collective Mural is a BIPOC Berlin based cultural project founded in 2022 by a group of creatives to promote BIPOC work in different fields of the art. They aim to develop a multidisciplinary relation at the intersection of culture, art, and activism.

Explorations of mental health and gender transition, memories of childhood and the push and pull of familial connections, romantic dating and expressing affection through the power of music; the third volume of the Mural screening series brings together 8 films by up and coming FLINTA/BIWOC/BIPOC filmmakers from around the world.
