Ger­many: Cine­mare

What is at is­sue:

The film fest­ival’s main aim is to cre­ate a joint plat­form for mar­ine re­search, art, and wa­ter sports through the me­dium of film. In ad­di­tion to cinemas and mu­seums around the city, the Cine­Mare Kiel holds screen­ings at the Medien­dom Kiel, a state of the art fa­cil­ity for 360° full dome pro­jec­tions on the east­ern part of the Kiel Fjord, and thereby con­nect­ing the east­ern and the west­ern shores of the fjord through film. Cine­Mare Kiel brings the ocean ashore and onto the cinema screens, let­ting the audi­ence ex­per­i­ence „the blue“ in „the green“. The film fest­ival wants to ex­cite the people for our oceans and fur­ther their con­nec­tion with the seas. Un­der­stand­ing the value of our mostly blue planet is the first step to pro­tect­ing it.

What's hap­pen­ing now:

Pre­par­a­tions for the Cine­mare Fest­ival 2019 are in full swing. CINE­MARE co­oper­ates closely with all three uni­versit­ies in Kiel: the Uni­versity of Ap­plied Sci­ences Kiel, the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts Kiel and the Chris­tian-Al­brechts-Uni­versität zu Kiel. Talks are un­der­way with the lat­ter for an aca­demic con­fer­ence "Screen­ing the Sea" as part of the 4th In­ter­na­tional Ocean Film Fest­ival from 23 to 27 Oc­to­ber 2019.

What we have achieved:

The of­fi­cial fest­ival part­ner­ship between the IOFF In­ter­na­tional Ocean Film Fest­ival San Fran­cisco and CINE­MARE is re­garded as the first suc­cess­ful cul­tural ex­change of the city part­ner­ship between San Fran­cisco and Kiel. Un­der the pat­ron­age of the Lord Mayor of Kiel, Dr. Ulf Käm­p­fer, the Meeres­filmfest­ival was opened for the first time last year in Kiel's City Hall. As part of the open­ing, which was partly broad­cast live by Schleswig-Hol­stein Magazine, the Sea Film Fest­ival part­ner­ship cer­ti­fic­ate was sol­emnly signed by the fest­ival dir­ector, Ana Blanco, who came from San Fran­cisco es­pe­cially for the oc­ca­sion.
