GRRL HAUS CINEMA is an ongoing program of short films and video art made by women, as well as non-binary, genderqueer, and trans people. A mix of local, national, and international artists present work from a variety of disciplines: narrative, documentary, experimental, and conceptual. With an emphasis on low budget and DIY, GRRL HAUS is a space for underrepresented voices in the arts today.
GRRL HAUS is not your typical film festival, instead of having one big event - we have multiple events throughout the year. Our goal is to show as many quality short films made by women, non-binary, genderqueer, and trans people to an international audience.
We completely celebrate DIY culture and focus on sharing works to all different types of audiences. This can include audiences at international museums or to audiences at underground clubs. We believe that every audience deserves the chance to see these works, rather than just the typical film festival networking crowd. We want to reach all audiences and celebrate the inclusivity of creative and unique work in film.
In Berlin we host monthly screenings at Loophole and also screen with Mobile Kino and IL Kino. We hold our yearly end of the year event is at the historic Brattle Theatre in Cambridge, MA, USA where GRRL HAUS had its inauguration in 2014. At these events, GRRL HAUS Cinema has showcased over 500 filmmakers, including multiple musical performances, video art installations, art exhibitions and local vendors.
In 2019*, we had a total of 22 events including 5 visual art exhibitions at venues - RAW Berlin, Das Giftraum and Oblomov. There were 3 cinema screenings with Mobile Kino, 6 cinema screenings at IL KINO, 7 party screenings (with bands and DJs) at Loophole and lastly our end of the year event at The Brattle Theatre.
In 2018 we had a total of 12 screenings. 2018 venues included : The Institute of Contemporary Art Boston, Alamo Drafthouse Yonkers, WORM Rotterdam, Loophole Berlin, IL KINO, Brattle Theatre and Dorchester Art Project.
We have multiple events scheduled for 2020 and are looking for short films for all the events! Submissions are open until November 1, 2020 and are accepted on a rolling basis.
