The Northern Wave International Film Festival will be celebrated from the 2th to the 4th of March 2012

its name is based, is Nouvelle Vague, or New Wave. Like Nouvelle Vague,
Northern Wave attempts to revive the recognition of film making as an

“Cinema Perpetuum mobile” is an international
cinema cooperation festival that gathers independent film makers and
their groups to work under the theme of the perpetual motion.
The project is aimed at cinema cultural diversity
and the promotion of independent auteur movies. Festival co-operation
aims to cover all countries and continents from Scandinavia to the Cape
of Good Hope and from Patagonia to the Aleutian Islands.
“Cinema Perpetuum mobile” is a non-commercial project,
so the organizers aspire only to cover their expenses on the festival
while the participants whose films are included into a short list can
pretend to receive dividends in case the collection of “Perpetuum
Mobile” films is shown in cinemas after festival. The participation in
our cinema cooperation festival is free. Organizer of the festival is an
independent association «Kinaklub.org», principles of which are
cinemania, self-organization, decentralization, mutual aid.

A woman's descent into spirit.
Experimental film derived from video footage of an art installation by Kate E Deeming.

Threads was edited within a single editing program. No additional plug-ins were used.
Music: Scope J by Scott Walker (vocals by Ute Lemper). International festival screening rights secured.
