GREETINGS
FROM THE MAYOR OF WEIMAR
Dear friends and creators of the backup_festival,
this year’s 18th annual backup_festival with all its
initiators and student helpers is the living proof
that art, creativity and Weimar are inseparable.
True to this year’s motto people of all ages, backgrounds and lifestyles come together in our city,
FEARLESS and ready to shine a new light on the
festival every year. For the five day duration of the
festival Weimar will be a cultural melting pot of
inspiring and brave cooperations. My thanks go
to the Bauhaus University Weimar and the FILM
e.V. and all organizers. I wish them success and the
best of luck for the backup_festival 2016!
Sincerely,
Stefan Wolf
Mayor of Weimar

GREETINGS
FROM THE RECTOR OF THE BAUHAUS-UNIVERSITÄT
WEIMAR
Eight years ago the Bauhaus Film-Institute (BFI)
was founded and integrated with the backup_festival, emphasizing the prominent position of film
in media. This year the backup_festival will be
taking place under the motto FEARLESS, which
also describes the cooperation of backup and the
film institute. Unafraid, the festival is constantly
changing while still remaining a consistent place
within the university and Weimar.
I wish you great success and good luck.
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Karl Beucke
Rector of the Bauhaus University Weimar
15
GREETINGS
FROM THE DIRECTOR OF THE
BAUHAUS FILM_INSTITUTE
What is the festival about? It is about students of
art and design programs and their films. Films like
these are produced every day anew.
Every day people set sail to reach new shores
risking stormy journeys aiming to seek out new
worlds. The American historian Daniel Joseph
Boorstin (1914-2004) titled his legendary trilogy
about scientific, artistic and philosophical history of humankind as follows: “The Discoverers”
(1983), “The Creators” (1992) and “The Seekers”
(1998). The backup_festival provides fearless filmmakers worldwide a chance to show their work as
a destination inbetween destinations on their film
related journey.
Therefore the motto of this year’s backup_festival
could not be more accurate.
Backup 2016. A backup for disoverers,
creators and seekers with the
unexpected in sight.
A backup in fearlessness for all of us!
Prof. Wolfgang Kissel
Director of Bauhaus Film-Institut
of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar

BACKUP_FESTIVAL
The time has come again: From the
18th to the 22nd of May 2016 we
warmly welcome artists and visitors
to the international short film festival
backup in Weimar.
Become a part of the world of films,
become a part of the world of backup. The short film festival has been
convincing for many years, has always
been characterized by its uncomplicated and fresh ways and atmosphere.
Organized by students, this festival is
full of new ideas and limitless creativity. Like every year, we do our best to
entertain you with new thematic focuses, a new program and new artists.
A lot of films were sent in and we
proudly present you the very best of
them. The films are distributed into
different award programs where they
will be eligible to win the corresponding price. Additional films can also be
seen outside the scope of the contest.
One such program is backup.at.home,
a special highlight which is presented
in the private atmosphere of student
flats. Don’t miss the opportunity
to visit the exhibition “backup.art.
screen installation and monitoring” at
the Gaswerk! Furthermore, backup.
connect gives you a chance to take
a closer look at the artist’s works
through talks and presentations by
industry professionals. At the end of
each day, we have carefully organized
bckp-parties where you can dance all
night long to the music of internationally famous DJs. Feel the enthusiasm
and experience of the art of film in a
very special way.
The backup_festival kindly welcomes
you.

E-WERK
WEIMAR
THE OTHER MUSIC ACADEMY [OMA]
Weimar’s E-Werk is a space that has slowly grown
since 1996 to be place of culture in Weimar.
The charm of this space is partly due to the raw,
makeshift and flexible industrial structures on the
one hand and the people who creatively use these
spaces on the other. The E-Werk premises have
long since inspired artists and viewers alike thanks
to its timeless experimental workshop atmosphere.
is our vision of a new kind of institution: an
Empowerment Center. The goal of the OMA is
an inclusive society, in which a broad diversity of
people is invited to actively shape our culture and
their individual roles within it.
The OMA is committed to establish a critical, positive understanding of differences and diversity.
OMA-projects redefine the boundaries between
work, education and play. They render reasons
and opportunities to inspire people from different
backgrounds to act hand in hand.

ECKERMANN
BUCHHANDLUNG
BAUHAUS-UNIVERSITÄT WEIMAR
Since 2004, the old Löschhaus is home to the Eckermann bookshop. The frame house is over 400
years old and thus one of the oldest in the market
district. It is located in the heart of Weimar, in the
historical district between the market square and
the Herder church and invites to rummage, read
and linger. The literary society Thuringia, which
organises the events around the Weimar Poetry
Price, is located in this house.
With faculties and areas of study such as Architecture and Urbanism, Civil Engineering, Art
and Design and Media, the Bauhaus-University
Weimar has a distinctive identity. Today the University offers an extensive spectrum of instruction
with about 40 courses of study, including fine art,
design, web design, visual communication, media
design, media studies, architecture, civil engineering, materials science, processing technology,
and environment and management. The term
»Bauhaus« stands for an eagerness to experiment,
openness, creativity, and a close link to industrial
practice and internationality.
21
BACKUP.AWARD
The backup_festival 2016 in Weimar searches for short films from
students and graduates of art,
media, and design schools for its
backup.award. It is the main prize in
a competition that encourages new
approaches to the medium of the
film, offered by Sparkasse Mittelthüringen. The aim of the festival
is to support young talents in their
effort to create new cinematic perspectives.
One of the great advantages of the
festival is that besides providing the
opportunity to expand their work by
offering it to an interested public, the backup_festival presents a
chance to exchange ideas with other
film-, design- and media artists,
theorists, and producers to all those
involved. Moreover, the backup_festival offers a variety of other awards
such as the liquid.sound.club award
22
supported by Liquid Sound Club
and the herzblut.award supported
by Partisan with the goal of supporting young filmmakers.
Upon arrival newcomers and those
interested can reflect and deepen
their skills by taking part in a combination of workshops and panel
discussions with incumbents of the
media industry.
This year the festival will be relaunching an audience choice award:
the backup.collaboration.award. By
its funding alone this award shows
the importance of networking and
that big goals are easier to achieve as
a team, especially if you are working in media. Through a successful
crowdfunding campaign on Vision
Bakery we were able to finance this
award.

illustrate our capitalist notions of love and desire, gender duality and a wish to

A young man is on the search for a job. Hoping to succeed this time he makes
his way to another job interview. But all his hopes are destroyed again. His
destiny does not lose hold of him. In Indonesia work is the only key to survive
- in a nation which does not give securities on paper. A nation without ink.
A journey in which pixels, shapes and colours obey to a quantic order, statistically random, revealing an almost alien landscape. Shadows and lights fight in

An old man lives alone in a solitary hut in the forest. The winter is so cold
that he can barely move his limbs. He sits calmly beside the window when a
bird flies against it and falls down to the ground. Briefly he pauses for thought
but then he fights his way outside. Out in the deep snow his strength begins
to fail but as he takes the little bird in his hands everything changes. New life
returns to the old man. Or is this just one last memory?
This is an animation film that narrates the beginning of a living organism

‘Vehicles’ is a video and sound work in which an imagined structure is revealed from its smallest components to the larger and more complex entities
they compose. The accompanying music and sound reinforce a narrative
ranging from a place of intimacy to a growing vastness, while echoing the visual content of the video. This work is loosely inspired by the essay ‘Vehicles’
written by the cyberneticist Valentino Braitenberg.

The heart of a love song is found in the embrace of loss, in the masochist
clinging to something we no longer have, in the preciousness of memory
lined with grace and anger. Grief therapy is just the exorcism of the other. Unlike any other, Romeu Runa embodies borderline states of existence, extends
that feeling to a point of winning life back. Blending beauty and discomfort
into a poem that floats in space.
A singer is woken up by the sound of music. He proceeds to follow a trail

Dictorial addresses, great arms, expensive accessories and killing glances: the

beautiful southern women sing, they drink a double Whiskey and they are
strained because they face a major task.
Do the demand for happenings and the pressure to documentate everything
erase natural instincts and humanity? The animated short movie shows that it
is time to think once more before pulling out ones camera.

BACKUP.ART.SCREEN
E-WERK
(Am Kirschberg 4)
Together with our partner LEMONAID we will
be showing the project „My Utopia. Ideas for a
better world.“ on screen at the festival’s main venue
Lichthaus Kino in the E-Werk.
For over two years LEMONAID and the FilmFabrique Kollektiv have been talking to a diversity of
people about their ideas for a better future as part
of the project: painters & musicians, scientists &
activists, thinkers & doers- they all describe their
personal utopia. These films can now be seen at
backup as well.
Backup.art.screen is an exhibition of artistic
works whose presentation forms and methods
leave the digital behind. The connection between
people, nature and technology constitute the
exhibition. Narratives, and digital works beyond
the projection screen are combined in a spiritual
net. Backup.art.screen invites you to experience
the seemingly chaotic digital path in the light of
monitors and projection screens together with the
filmmakers. Through the hypnotizing technical
and aesthetic trip one experiences elusive transcendental moments, and within them finds the
unseen.

SCENOGRAPHY
Every year backup gives itself a theme, that is both
an inspiration and limitation for the interdisciplinary artistic and creative investigation of the backup.
team and connects all doings sensually and sensuously. In the year 2016 the theme is as current as it is
timeless- “Fearless”:
Fear has many faces. It can suddenly grab, paralyze
and steal your breath away. It can creep up on you,
silent and unnoticed- like a haze closing in on your
soul. Fear is your companion, a constant shadow
lurking in the background, sometimes affecting you
more, sometimes less.
As a child the feeling of fear could easily be conquered by the comforting words of our parents-today it takes a bit more effort to overcome.
Existing without fear seems so much easier. No
subconscious doubt, no mental strain. But: Can we
even experience fearlessness, without having ever
been afraid?
What are we scared of? How do we overcome our
fears and what is courage? Questions, that are not
just directed towards every single one of us, but also
build the thematic foundation of this year’s 18th
annual backup_festival 2016.
108
Being fearless means to be aware of your fears
and live with them, to not let them influence or
limit you. We want to explore the phenomenon of
standing up to your fear and as a result creating
something great. We are going on an international
search for innovative short films by students and
graduates of Art, Media and Design Schools. Curious, excited, fearless.

POETRYFILMPREIS
In recent years the poetry film has gained considerable importance. For the first time the backup_festival and the Literarische Gesellschaft Thüringen e.V.
are following this development with a corporate,
internationally advertised poetry film contest. Filmmakers were invited to submit contributions dealing
with lyrical texts in a new and innovative way,
mainly focusing on the creative dialogue between
the two art forms, rather than the simple filming of
the poems themselves.
The goal of the contest is the long-term support of
the poetry film in Thuringia and Central Germany.

Charles Badenhorst Gedicht: Adam Small
This film is part of a series of short films of classical Afrikaans poems. This
poem is an iconic work condemning segregation laws under Apartheid South
Africa. It tells a story of a white woman who falls in love with a coloured man.
It is a conversation between the woman, the man and the community about
how the law is killing their love and ultimately takes their lives.
A mother, a father a child... a diva, a soldier, a dance... history, step by step.

The Abyss is a self-portrait. Diasporic, and future-now; it explores the theme
of the identity as a Congolese-British Queer woman. The piece is based on a
poem that I wrote shortly after having faced trauma as a result of homophobia from close family members. The Abyss, in short, is about embracing the
darkness to survive.
This film is part of a series of short films about classical and contemporary
Afrikaans poems. In the morning, a girl gets ready to go to school. In the
neighborhood of the ghetto she lives in, violence is part of everyday life.

The film ‘LEERSTELLE’ is a poetic controversion with the topic of home
and the experience of the outland as new home. Composed fragments of the
poem of Hilde Domin and the consolidation and overlap of sketchy drawings,
never completed, always the possibility of dispersing, describe the permanent
search for an inner place of silent- a place of deceleration.

framework of the project “Re:MIX”. They explored
the relationship between Sound and moving image.
The tracks are part of the album “In the Backroom”,
which is going to be released in summer 2016 from
the Berliner recordlabel Sonar Kollektiv. Marlow
uses the technic for sampling and remixing. At the
visual level the students tied in with the usage of
Found Footage and technics of the moving collage
as well as in the LEGETECHNIK?. Short videoclips
were the results and also an interactive work. Aline

The video shows a tribal dance depicting the natural circle of life. The movements of the dancer to the beat of the drums get interchanged by feral images
of the hunt. The hunt ends in the death of the prey and the looming death of
the hunter portraying the lingering call of nature itself.
‘And His Mind Blown’ is a music video which was created during the project module RE:Mix at the Bauhaus University Weimar. The video combines
found footage material and geometrical figures that move, change and disappear with the rhythm of the music.

Slowly the viewer is introduced to a microscopically tiny world. He flies over
mountains and through valleys, step by step he gets to know the area better
with a torch. Somehow everything seems flexible and elastic. Entire worlds
are moving and growing to the rhythm of the music.

The track ‘I Do We Do’ (Marlow, Sonar Kollektiv, 2016) is built out of bizarre
and strange loops, however, somehow sounding oddly familiar. The music
video depicts the tension between everyday life, routine and estrangement.

A ropedancer starts drinking and amuses with her movements. But drinking
in this film is a symbol of the problems in life. Moreover, she should keep her
hopes and balance in this situation.

nature. Music: Marlow - And His Mind Blown.

‘Where have all the flowers gone?’ is a music animation video about the rise
and fall of the Kyara-Civilisation. The Kyaras are anthropomorphic beings
living in a prehistorical environment. Their evolution is founded by the development of weapons and conquering the nature. Like a non stoppable train of
war they are crossing the point of no return while running faster and faster to
their downfall. All what is left are crosses and plants growing over the graves.
27. Installation Projekt

The installation is about the interaction of the viewer with the music video.
The visitors have the opportunity to guide the camera in order to change the
viewing perspective. This way they can observe an initial 2D music video in
an abstract 3D space.

BACKUP.AT.SCHOOL
Special Program for students
“Young Talents”
The workshop event for young
filmmakers is part of the festival,
such as watching movies themselves.
No wonder, since backup@school
has already been awarded in 2013
as “Best Student Project” Thuringia
by the Verein Deutscher Ingenieure
(Association of German Engineers).
For students of the 9th grade of the
Friedrich-Schiller-Gymnasium Weimar worked for the backup_festival
to extensive media projects.
36 students were brought from
14 to 18 March 2016 from their
classrooms in the Bauhaus University Weimar and the Bauhaus Film
Institute premises. The professional
management took over the teachers
Mr. Mario Koch and Mr. Rüdiger
Heerdegen and backup tutors for TV
studio equipment and lighting design (Martin Saalfrank), stop motion
and animation (Maximilian Zwiener, Catalina Giraldo Velez), radio
/ audio design (Arian Wichmann &
Tina Wagner), 3D animation (Amr
Kamel), computer science (Stefan
140
Hürdler), Photo (Michael Matthey)
and documentation / Making-of
(Wieland Mikolajczyk). The students
worked in eight groups both in the
studio as in television and animation
studio, video interface, in the recording studio as well as in a team that
documented the entire workshop.
The groups rotated and learned every
day in a different area.
The project was carried out jointly with the Landeszentrale für

RFC Madagaskar
presented by
Franka Sachse
In Madagascar - an island as big as
France and Luxembourg put together
- there exists only one film festival. The RFC (Rencontres du Film
Court de Madagascar) is not only
a platform for encounters between
filmmakers, it’s also an opportunity for young people to learn about
film. Once a year over 9 days a great
variety of films from Madagascar
and all over the world were screened
alongside a broad program of workshops and lectures by international
experts. Thus, the RFC provides
significant resources to an emerging
film community in an area of the
world which does not currently have
any film schools. The program is a
compilation of 5 films that have been
shown and awarded prizes in various
categories at RFC 2015 or 2016.

HUBERT SIELECKI
Hubert Sielecki studied at the school of applied art in Vienna and at the filmschool in Lodz.
Since 1982 he teaches at the University of applied
art in the masteclass of painting, animationfilm
and tapestry with Christian Ludwig Attersee.
Hubert Silecki is screenwriter, director, cinematographer, musician, audio engineer, actor,illustrator and painter in one person. He produces
authorfims and uses mainly the technic of the animationfilm. For his work he received many awards
at home and abroad. 1985 he got the funding price
for cinema, 1988 the Viennale-Price and 1996
the first price for the shortfilm “Air Fright” at the
Diagonale in Salzburg. With his film “Air Fright”
he was invented to 37 international festivals so far.
He produced eleven cinema commercials for the
magazine “Falter” and many other productions for
different institutions with his production company
“Animation Films Vienna”.
19991 Hubert Sielecki has founded the filmgroup
A.S.K. in which he’s working on no budget projects
together with the artists Paul Braunsteiner and
Luise Buisman.
159
SHORT & CRISP - Part 1
The program includes a selection of
Hubert Sielecki’s oeuvre. An additional selection from the year 1969
to 1971, as well as some films by
his film group A.S.K. can be found
in Part 2 and yet another selection
including short spots and documentaries of his collaboration with Maria
Lassnig and Kurt Kren can be found
in Part 3.
Part 1 starts with animation films
from the years 1983 to 1997, followed
by a series of films from the year 2007,
after texts by Gerhard Rühm and his
voice, the co-founder of the Wiener
Gruppe in the 60s.
The film „Maria Lassnig Kantate“
(1992) is a portrait of the late painter
which is entirely drawn, sung, written
and displayed by the artist herself.
160
After that, short films that are the
results of collaborations with musicians and writers are shown. After
the series „glaubwürdige Texte“
(„believable texts“), in which authentic writings from media, vernissages
and interviews are displayed by the
artist himself, we will wrap up/close
with two films, again after a poem
and a media text by Gerhard Rühm
from the years 2014 and 2015.
Almost all films are based on a piece
of writing or poem, which shows the
correlation of language and single
motion picture film in an experimental way.
In less than 80 minutes this program
offers a diverse and entertaining
showcase accompanied by explanations and personal stories of the
filmmaker himself.

ZATA BANKS
POETRYFILM PARALLAX
A curated selection of short film artworks chosen
for their alignment with poetic structures and
experiences, and with the visual, verbal and aural
languages of poetry in various forms.
Parallax is the apparent displacement, or difference in the apparent position, of a visual object,
when viewed along different lines of sight. In his
book Transcritique, the Japanese philosopher
Kojin Karatani uses the word ‘parallax’ to describe
Kant’s shifting between contradictory perspectives.
Kant’s “Antinomies of Reason” are contradictory
propositions, which seem valid from their own
perspectives, but which cannot be simultaneously
true. Kant argues alternately from one perspective,
then from the other, and Karatani describes Kant’s
approach as establishing a parallax between philosophical positions. Karatani asserts that parallax
does not equate with negativity, but it does not
negate negativity either. The basis of parallax is the
positivity of both positions.

bckp concert
Videomapping & facade
projection festival
Backup will be hosting bckp_events
which include concerts, lounges and
a central party. Bands, live acts, DJ’s
and VJ artists will be performing
Wednesday till Saturday in various
locations around town. The events
will begin with Kids of Agelaide.
The opening concert will be held
at the traditional backup location Lichthaus Kino in the E-Werk.
The highlight of these events will
be bckp.2015 on Friday the 20th of
May at the Gaswerk, which for many
years has been known as a popular
location for artists and party people.
The backup.team will be also looking
forward to further musical performances from Kids of Adelaide, Dead
Disco, Miss Twinneedle, Dennis
Calmer, Zine, DJ Wretch, Thomas
Stieler und Einfach Hoeren.
Kids of Adelaide
Severin Specht and Benjamin Nolle
are the Kids of Adelaide. Their music
is english folk, a mix of mandolin,
harmonica, guitar and bass drum.
Specht and Nolle began their career as
street musicians; they finally released
their first CD in 2011. Since then,
Kids of Adelaide have been on tour
across Germany several times, even
making a night club tour in 2013.
Genius Loci Weimar is a festival for
site-specific audio-visual art and
interactive facade projections. The
concept of the festival is to embrace
the spirit of the location. This means
the reinterpretation of the architecture, history and other visible
and invisible layers of meaning of
buildings, and the urban situation
and the subsequent visualization of
these ideas using the techniques of
video mapping.
164
Dead Disco
has been active in the german
indietronical scene since nine years.
Their music is a mix of indie dance,
electro and pop. DEAD DISCO
already played during the aftershows
of Kakkmaddafakka, Frittenbudde
and Egotronic.
As part of the tour “God Save the
Queen” & “Indie Heroes”, DEAD
DISCO played in various german
clubs such as Berghain Kantine in
Berlin, Übel und Gefährlich in Hamburg and Atomic Cafe in Munich. Dennis Calmer
Dennis Calmer was born in 1990 in
Flensburg. He began to take guitar lessons as a teenager and then
played in several school bands. In
2006, Calmer discovered his passion
for electronic music. Seeing artists
interacting and playing in a Berlin
club was the reason of his interest for
vinyl and DJ culture.
At the End of 2013, Dennis met
Luigi Rossi, founder of “Together in
the Dark”. Together, they began to
promote this concept around Europe,
creating several events.
Thomas Stieler
Born and raised in rural Saalfeld,
Thomas Stieler has been making a nationwide name for himself as DJ since
2005. In 2014 he signed a contract
with the Jena music label ‘Freude am
Tanzen’. Today he plays his House and
Electrobeats regularly all over Germany and also releases his tunes as a part
of the label’s podcast.
165
Zine
The best way to completely and unbiasedly capture Zine’s sound without
being partial to any possibe description is a morphological analysis of
his journey through different DeepHouse and Techno sounds. This
analysis uses the morphological box,
a vivid picture of a multidimensional
matrix. While one moment the frequencies are dark and boost the bass
through the box easily, but with an
adamant groove, the next the lighter
House sound gives the Zwicky-Box a
lighter shade . “How deep can Deep
House be and how housy can Techno
be ?” The creative method of the
morphological box and Zine himself
give us the answer: Deepno.

Einfach Hoeren
Einfach Hören is a Frankfurt music
label which was created in 2014. It
releases techno, house and experimental beats music on vinyls, tapes

music is a mix of funk, disco and
house. Philipps gets inspired by old
US house discs, but most of all, he’s
known for his groove.

Rythm & Blues! Nothing enchants
your heart more than the music of
the 30ties and 60ties! This music
makes you dance the whole night.
Swing, Rythm & Blues, Popcorn,
Exotica, Soul and Rock n’ Roll from
Big Maybelle till Muddy Waters everything processed on black gold.
Night Club music from New-York to
New Orleans.

of the nineties, crossed borders to
funk and soul music and completed his sound with old beats of the
nineties and modern beats à la trap.

the last years - some broken beats are
even found in his playlist.
