Short Film Day on December 21
On the shortest day of the year, short film will be celebrated in all its diversity, creativity and joy of experimentation in one hundred cities across Germany.
In Osnabrück, the European Media Art Festival and the Lagerhalle are participating with the programme:
Revisited: Short Films from the EMAF Programmes 2020 and 2021
The programme provides a unique opportunity to experience films on a big screen that could only be watched online as part of the last two EMAF editions. They take us from the Brazilian Amazon region to Hong Kong and from Japan to the American Midwest. They tell of people whose stories were almost forgotten and come to us anew. They portray places that are reminiscent of our present and yet could just as well have been dreamt. They also point to a future in which the past lives on.
Programme:
Apiyemiyeki?, Ana Vaz, BR/FR 2020, 27 min.
Happy Valley, Simon Liu, HK/US 2021, 13 min.

Digitising Contemporary Art
EMAF is a partner of the international project DCA – digitising contemporary art, which will digitise contemporary art for the European art and culture portal “Europeana” and post it on the internet.
21 museums and art institutions and four technical partner institutions will spend thirty months digitising around 27,000 works of art and roughly 2,000 contextual documents, enabling visitors to access them online.
This way, EMAF will make significant works from the past accessible to a wide audience.
The project is being coordinated by PACKED vzw, centre of expertise in digital heritage in Brussels and is co-financed by the European Commission within the CIP - ICT Policy Support Programme.

Mediaartbase
The subject of archiving Media Art is increasingly gaining in importance amongst international experts. Although a large number of artistically valuable works have been created in recent decades, they are rarely captured in existing art archives. For this reason, the German Federal Cultural Foundation decided to fund the mediaartbase.de project, for which the European Media Art Festival (EMAF), the documenta Archive Kassel with the Kassel Documentary Film and Video Festival and ZKM | Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe have joined forces.
Mediaartbase.de is a database for Media Art that is making collections from the three project partners’ archives available to a wide audience.
Over 7,000 titles from past festivals have already been compiled in the EMAF database. More than 800 films/videos have been digitised, making the EMAF archive one of the most outstanding sources on the history of experimental film and video work since the beginning of the 1980s.
