ak kraak - videoactivism and critical documenting in the context of activists' movement in Berlin and Germany since 1989 – presentation, workshop, screenings. Katharina Koch, Marie Du Vinage, Florian Hülsey, Elizabeth Grenier

The presentation of the history and activity of the ak kraak group from Berlin in the context of the German and international anarchist movement discussed ideas related to strategies of self-organization, to the concept of “do it yourself”, to the critical way of dealing with documentary/ documentary filmmaking (subjective perspectives, self-reflected access, ways of working together/relationship: filmmakers-protagonists, other ways of documentary work then the corporate media style, etc). A selection of films from the ak kraak archive, films realized between 1990 and 2007, was showed in a video lounge. An archive of posters and info material about the group was also available.
