Since 2009 my friend Todd and I have worked together on a couple of film projects in Berlin and have noticed that especially alternative and experimental queer films are hard to find in the city. We decided that we want to fill this gap by initiating a Queer Film Archive Berlin (QFAB) where hard-to-find queer films will be collected and available for people to borrow. We’ve now finally brought the idea to kickstarter, hoping that we will get together sufficient donations buy a collection of films, which we want make available for rent at QFAB with payment on a voluntary basis. The money we receive from renters will allow us to buy new films so that the size of the archive is constantly growing. Please check out our kickstarter site and the handmade little video below for more information, and support our project, especially when you’re from Berlin. Donations, re-postings and new films for the archive are highly appreciated!
Die erfolgreiche Kickstarter-Aktion liegt ja nun schon über ein Jahr zurück: was ist nun eigentlich aus dem QFAB geworden?
Das Projekt lag eine ganze Weile auf Eis, weil wir beide plötzlich feste Jobs hatten. Wir haben uns aber inzwischen neue Mitstreiterinnen an Bord geholt und arbeiten wieder daran. Das Geld ist noch quasi unangetastet, Ergebnisse sollten aber bald kommen!
Viele Grüße
Hanno
