8th International Archaeology-Film-Festival, CINARCHEA, 23-26.04.2008, Kiel, Germany

(2007 02 15 13:50)

It is the only film festival of this kind in Germany and Northern Europe.

 

Who does CINARCHEA address to?
CINARCHEA is intended to be scientifically well founded just as much as to find acceptance as a popular festival. It provides opportunity for getting into contact, motivates communication and discussion, and all this not only for the professional audience and participants, the international experts (i.e. archaeologists, filmmakers, heads of museums and other institutions, journalists): it also succeeds to attract a broader public by offering an attractive programme of general interest.

 

 

What topics will the films deal with?
CINARCHEA sets up no restrictions, e.g. to a specific cultural period. Rather it intends to convey impressions of and insight into the immense complexity of the world of Archaeology and the Archaeological Film. Thus several distinct fields of research will be presented: excavations, restorations, conservation methods, experimental-, aerial photo- and underwater-archaeology, to name but a few important ones. This complexity applies just as well to the manifold film genres: the Kiel festival puts on show well done yet conventional, "classic" documentary films just as experimental, even daring and provocative or, last not least more playful filmic efforts to communicate archaeological topics.

Competition
The quality and attractive potential of the Kiel festival is enhanced by means of an international competition concluded with an award ceremony. This competitive programme is supposed to portray outstanding more recent productions (from 1996 onward) of special distinction. During the festival an international jury of archaeologists, filmmakers, heads of museums, media-experts and journalists will award several non-funded prizes.

 

The Symposium
As always the symposium is supposed to enhance communication and discussion, the exchange of ideas, perspectives and knowledge: participating to make use of this occasion will be experts in more or less related subject-fields such as archaeologists, filmmakers, heads of museums and other institutes, journalists and media-experts. The theme of the CINARCHEA symposium 2008 is "Archaeology – Movie – Museum" .

 

Organisers
the Association to support CINARCHEA, in cooperation with the Institute of Pre- and Protohistory and the Kulturamt der LH Kiel.
