werkleitz – centre for media art
Based in Halle, the werkleitz Centre for Media Arts facilitates the production and presentation of new media art projects that address topical social and artistic issues.
The Centre’s work consists of three major strands:
- - werkleitz produces film and media art festivals and other events in various formats, including the werkleitz festival, monthly art presentations and regular video-installations
- - in cooperation with the European Media Art Network, the ‘Supported Artist’ programme, ‘A38 Produktionsstipendien’, ‘Projektförderung’ and other public funding bodies it awards scholarships and grants to individual artists active in the media arts field
- - it provides resources as well as expert advice on artistic and technical aspects of film and video production, including workshops on script-writing, editing and postproduction.
werkleitz also works in collaboration with other regional, national and international project partners to develop exhibitions and conferences.
The Media Lab provides space and resources for experimentation and production.
Filmmakers and media artists – be they professionals or non-commercial aspiring innovators - are given an opportunity to realise their creative projects. werkleitz supports the production and presentation of media arts by providing reasonably priced editing suites, projectors, cameras etc, as well as access to its creative network and expert advice on artistic and technical issues. A further means of support is the werkleitz grant and scholarship programme.
