Out premiered at the Venice film festival, where it won the Orizzonti award for best medium-length film. The film went on the win numerous awards, including a nomination for the European Academy award. |
In 2017 Sternberg Press published a collection Rosen’s scripts and political texts, Live and Die as Eva Braun and Other Intimate Stories.

Loukia Alavanou (b.1979, Athens) is a visual artist and filmmaker who has been working with film and exhibiting her work internationally for over a decade. With direct references to a Greek modernity, her narratives are placed between the West and the particular morphology of Greece, embroiling her works with found footage fragments and symbolisms from the political history of post-dictatorial Greece, as well as the cultural signifiers of the European North. Alavanou completed an MA in photography at the Royal College of Art. In 2007 she won the DESTE Prize. She currently holds a retrospective exhibition at State of Concept, Athens (2018). Other solo exhibitions include Kanelopoulos Cultural Centre, Elefsis, Rodeo, Istanbul, Haas & Fischer, Zurich.

Hanna Maria Anttila (b. 1974, Savonlinna, Finland) is an artist and a producer based in Helsinki. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki Finland and at the School of Visual Arts in New York. Anttila is interested in how societal changes become visible in everyday life and its details. Careful composition, clarity of form and precise punctuation are characteristic to her work. Her latest film Last Birds is an homage to the industrial glassblowing tradition and the skills of a glassblower. The storyline revolves around a young glassblower Kirsi Anttila and her family. The piece was shot at Nuutajärvi village, where the oldest glass factory in Finland was located until 2014. Nuutajärvi is a typical example of a small locality that loses its livelihood, based on specialised skills, in the hands of globalisation and the pressures of streamlining. The changes taking place in the community surrounding Kirsi Anttila speak also about a larger societal shift which affects us all. Hanna Maria Anttila received a one year artist grant from the Finnish Cultural foundation for 2018–2019 to develop her next film, which will explore cross-generational war trauma in Europe.
|
Hanna Maria Anttila also works as the director of AV-arkki, the Distribution Centre for Finnish Media Art in addition to her artistic work. AV-arkki has been a pioneering distributor of Finnish media art since 1989 and has opened up opportunities for artists to get their works recognized internationally. The activities of AV-arkki have contributed to the success that Finnish media art enjoys today. These activities are unique in both Finland and the other Nordic countries.

Kaya Erdinç is a practitioner of cinesthetics and film thinker. Based between Vienna, Maastricht and Istanbul, he constantly tries to work through emancipatory positions towards film history – and all of its possible ramifications. Writing for Jugend ohne Film, but also a variety of literary journals, the attempts to scrutinize his own position as a filmer necessarily seep outside the constraints of any set medium. An attitude formed in close conjunction with philosopher Bibi Straatman, who enabled him to feel free enough to write a cinema-driven poetry book and conduct vulnerably energetic moments of film curatorship. After several epistemological excavations – most notably Béla Tarr’s film.factory, wonderfully disastrous from an educational point of view – he now studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna with the aim to further develop his filmic quill.

Sophia Stoltenberg was born and raised in a small town next to the baltic sea, where the most trendy colour is still khaki. After she expanded her personal horizon in Berlin (#classic), she began her cultural studies in Lower Saxony – and got in touch with filmmaking. She took part in the young film collective JUENGLINGE, where they realized music videos about gender and sexuality. Besides she gained experiences in several non-profit and profit film productions as a PA, unit manager, 1st AD, set designer and grip assistant. But after some jobs for full-length films, she realized that she is too impatient for this kind of production flow. She was burning to turn more ideas into reality. Maybe that is why some of her friends call her Sofire. Maybe it is, because she frequently use the fire emoji.
