This week, the EMERGEANDSEE team has started reviewing the 649 entries that have been submitted for the 2011 festival. We are not finished yet, but we know, that this year again these works will make up a wonderful programme.

It's a glimpse into a great pool of ideas and images, made by people from all over the world. The top 20 countries from which we received entries are Germany, United States, United Kingdom, France, Austria, Spain, Romania, Italy, Portugal, Poland, Canada, Brazil, India, Hungary, Finland, Mexico, Norway, China, Ireland and Argentina.

For reviewing and discussing all these films and artwork, we have found a fantastic base at the Blood Orange East Studio, who kindly welcomed us to use their HD projection facilities - so we won't miss any detail.

Blood Orange East is a new studio space for film, photography and visual arts located in Berlin. Their ambition fits the spirit of EMERGEANDSEE very well: to encourage conversation between multidisciplinary endeavours, from experimental to commercial undertakings. They offer the surroundings for the realisation of film, commercials, music videos, or photography.
