· Resistance(s), Lowave
This DVD compilation includes eight films and videos from Middle Eastern and North African artists. It’s a
panorama of contemporary experimental creativity from this region of the world. As international travellers,
these filmmakers have forged together their identities out of the different cultures that they’ve encountered
through periods of migration and exile. Using images to lead the narrative, each artist succeeds in raising
fundamental questions relating to humanity, politics and aesthetics. Lowave is an independent DVD label
with the objective of discovering and promoting contemporary film and video art. Its ambition is to create a
new marketplace for the work of cutting-edge artists and filmmakers, under recognized by the traditional
distribution channels, by making them accessible to the public via the DVD format. With DVD,
experimental film can finally find an audience beyond the film festival circuit.

www.filmmedianet.net for film, internet, literature and music projects and is member/curator of the
artist-run-space Hinterconti in Hamburg.
“Searching For The LOST Station”
The film came about in the context of the project “Lebensreformbewegungen”* (Life Reforms) as part of a
collaboration with the group “ A Not closer defined artist group from Hamburg”. The presentation poses the
question about the relationship between „off“ and „on“ culture and what possibilities, privileges and traps
exist in independent, alternative projects. Or, more simply: what is different when we do it our own way?
*“Lebensreformbewegungen” are various movements from the early twentieth century in Germany
(anarchist, nudist, vegetarians and such like), actually all those who wished to escape from the system
at the time.

· Nation of Satan: Transforma Video and Live Recording of the Second Album
SATANIC WERMACHT II
The most brutal, monstrous and aggressive sound system is the basis of this avant-garde or better said,
extra avant-garde demo that is without comprise or tenderness, scrupulously taking no prisoners. This
is the statement of both the artists, in this way crushing the differences between generations and the
media which separates them.
