There’s only one film festival to go to in Berlin this Febuary. Now on its second edition, Loophole’s Boddinale festival again offers an inspiring selection of new and underground films (both short pieces and feature length) and video art. While the festival focuses on the works of film makers based on the community of artists that surround loophole and its networks, the call for entries went out far and wide so many international artists will also be presented.
The festival kicks of on Thursday the 6th of Febuary with the first annual Noiskölln music video awards presented in association with Network Awesome. Here’s a small selection of some of the short films that will be screened over the following week and a half:
Thomas Bröse | Selig

For 10 days we closed to the public the Loophole Art Space in Berlin NeuKölln and asked our friend Marcus Gryscyok (whose own film DonPlusultra is showing as part of Boddinale) to create a stop motion with us. Then a call for creative hands went around our community and many answered. Now the thing is, Loophole is a community of artists from the world over and most of our friends are terribly talented. This is the result of it all.
