While we normally show you short films on Sundays we are making an exception today for a special screening event series starting on Tuesday hosted by our friends from Mobile Kino and shorts.tv. Spread over several venues in different districts of Berlin they will be screening the Oscar-Nominated Short Films of 2013. As a special treat they will have the winners from last year virtually present the new films. In the first part of the screening series that happens this coming week you will get to see the 5 nomated live action films including Asad, Buzkashi BoysHenry, Death of a Shadow and Oscar winner Curfew. The program starts on Tuesday in Mitte at Naherholung Sternchen, continues on Wednesday at Mindpirates in Kreuzberg and on Friday at Villa Neukölln before the final screening on March 31 at Babylon Mitte. We’ll give you an update about the second part – the animated films – next Sunday right here. Check out the trailers for the first batch of short films after the jump.

Cinéma de Mode: Possession

possession

The latest episode of our Cinéma de Mode brings to you thrills and spills, with the sensational fashion film Possession by Berlin-based director Ralf Schmerberg, in collaboration with art space Mindpirates. Presented by avant-garde fashion label Moga E Mago Possession tells a modern horror story, where drugs, attraction and excess turns fatal. Highlight of the movie is an enchanting golden net dress that becomes a dangerous symbol of jealousy, envy and craving for two friends during a Berlin club night. Enjoy the breathtaking tale after the jump.

If you look at the title of this post a little closer you will notice a small change. I’ve inserted “party” to our weekly event guide, as the party guide that normally comes out on Thursday is on hiatus. As companesation I will add a few more parties for the weekend into this guide and also add them during the week when more pops up on my horizon. So enjoy the new extended event and party guide after the jump.

This week there is sooo much going on it’s going to be one of those where you plan on doing all of it and then end up doing none because there are just to many events to attend to. Well, still you shouldn’t miss the Planningtorock DJ set today, Artconnect anniversary event program on Thursday til Sunday, the Bodi Bill book launch and the anniversary party of Sing Blackbird. These and many more events after the jump.

Fighting for/with a Smile

Fighting for/with a Smile

The reason I love this city so much, is that even if I feel sometimes like I know it all, it never stops to suprise me in a good way. Three weeks ago I passed by the Mindpirates with a couple of curious friends to see how  their Cardboxfight was going to be. We became the spectator of a box war mankind never saw before. Soldiers with incredible armours stood in front of each other. Warriors with not only the power to impress but also the spirit to win gathered all together to fight inside of the Mindpirates courtyard. The winner was a girl with the perseverance of a pit bull and the strength of a tree.  Even if the pictures after the jump may look brutal to you. The people were not fighting with anger and bloodthirst but with a happy smile. So much fun to watch!  Thanks Berlin and the crazy but talented Mindpirates for such an amazing event.
