The Arsenal – Institute for Film and Video Art aims to communicate international film culture in a lively manner: Working at the point where practice and theory come together, the institute comprises a space for thinking outside the box in (film) cultural terms, a cinema whose attention is focused on independent and experimental film and a communication platform for promoting dynamic exchange between film, academia and art linked to a whole network of different organizations.Its work encompasses the running of the two-screen arsenal cinema, putting on the Berlinale Forum and Forum Expanded, distributing films as arsenal distribution and collecting and communicating works of independent and experimental cinema as well as avant-garde film history.
With over 1000 screenings a year, the cinema provides a program that brings together the historical and the contemporary, the academic and the popular, and the highbrow and the subcultural. Adventurous directorial debuts from young talents, innovative film and video art from all corners of the world, international film history from A to Z – the program is the expression of a curatorial approach based on the assumption that cinema is continually changing and is therefore in constant need of “rediscovery”.Arsenal – Institute for Film and Video Art is responsible for organizing one of the sections of the annual Berlin International Film Festiva, that stands for example for new trends in world cinema, unconventional, essayistic works of cinema, long-term observations, documentaries, and unknown cinematographies. Since 2006, Forum Expanded has extended the program to include experimental film and video art for both cinema and exhibition contexts.Since 2016, the Arsenal archive is based in Silent Green Kulturquartier. The archive comprises more than 8.000 titles. According to the motto “living archive”, it stresses the reference to the practices of the present.
