ART.Welten

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ART.Welten is an Austrian association for independent artists. It was founded in 2005 by Monja Art, an Austrian film-maker and author, with the stated goal of being a place for artists to meet connected only by the "love of art".[1]

ART.Welten focuses on the spreading of non-mainstream art, especially that which is of queer-interest or opposes to discrimination due to race, religion, sexual orientation, or disability. [2]

[edit] History

While working on her first feature Anemonis, Monja Art founded the association ART.Welten with the two filmmakers and journalists Caroline Bobek and Patrick Dorner. Other founding members were Miha Veingerl and Bernhard Art.

After a few months independent filmmaker Sebastian Leitner joined the association with his production company SEB/.Productions. Leitner brought in some new members - like filmmaker Louis-Jeremy Spieß and Thomas Seiger - and collaborated on several short films, starting with Monja Arts experimental short film Welcome to my prison.

Sebastian Leitner and his SEB/.Productions left ART.Welten after about a year. The last production, in which ART.Welten and SEB/.Productions cooperated was the short film AUS(punkt) by Louis-Jeremy Spieß.

[edit] Current status

ART.Welten has elected a new directorate. Monja Art is president, Caroline Bobek is deputy president. Both were accepted at the Filmacademy Vienna.

Patrick Dorner, Miha Veingerl and Bernhard Art remain as members of the directorate.

In 2007 several short films (Judas, Lebenslagen, Return to Laredo - Requiem for a Cowboy) and photography projects were produced.
