Films which were found, believed lost, disintegrated, never completed, or produced in a state of emergency, as well as video cassettes and clips are the theme of an event series, which is part of Forum Expanded.

With contributions from Nigeria, Afghanistan, Jordan, Cyprus, Palestine, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Indonesia.
”It follows, certainly, that Freudian psychoanalysis proposes a new theory of the archive; it takes into account a topic and a death drive without which there would not in effect be any desire or any possibility for the archive. But at the same time, at once for strategic reasons and because the conditions of archivization implicate all the tensions, contradictions, or aporias we are trying to formalize here, notably those which make of it a movement of the promise and of the future no less than of recording the past, the concept of the archive must inevitably carry in itself, as does every concept, an unknowable weight.“ Jacques Derrida, ”Archive Fever”
