Same as every year, during the Berlinale (at which we take part, more ) the Directors Lounge is taking place. 

The Lounge is an open platform for all kinds of media art, uniting them and their producers. 

Directors Lounge presents collections of short, experimental works from many different genres. We invite artists, curators, critics to specific discussions and lectures.
Special screenings feature highlights of experimental cinema, explore new trends in video-art and emphasize the role of independent filmmaking in culturspecific enviroments.
We showcase video installations, explore new ways of crossover in media-art and search for new forms of presentation beyond classic distribution-channels.
In addition to screenings – and as the name suggests – Directors Lounge will always be a meeting point, a place to have a drink and to lounge around with other friendly izards.
