Cinema Perpetuum Mobile festival | Minsk, Belarus,

The Cinema Perpetuum Mobile Festival

7th edition | April 2018

Cinema Perpetuum Mobile (CPM for short) is an annual international short film festival founded in 2011.

Self-described as an event that promotes independent film-making throughout the world, and searches for new forms and solutions in cinematography, the Belarusian short film (and animation) festival, published on their Facebook page a “Mobile Manifesto”.

It states that the audience is now getting bored at the cinemas, which have become commodity centres - and compete with the more obvious commodity attractions of department stores.

Mounting criticism on a pathetic post-modern reality, which works as a circus society, the festival goes on to lament the ‘false consciousness’ view of what happiness is.

Cinema Perpetuum Mobile Fest works as platform for both short film, experimental filmmaking, and includes a separate animation competition. In its 2018 edition (28 Apr - 1 May), it also included a competition section on “Documentary in the post-truth era”.

Cinema Perpetuum Mobile sticks to its goals to:

promoting films by young and independent Belarusian authors in Belarus and internationally
searching for new forms and tendencies in cinema on the edge of amateur and professional film-making;
exploring social issues via cinematographic language
develop and strengthen connections between film-makers and film-making communities all around the world

Cinema Perpetuum Mobile reaches the audience not only in Belarusian regions and cities, but in other countries as well. It is you who help us bring independent cinema to more and more people, and our community is growing due to the principles we incorporate in our mission: decentralization (horizontal structure of the festival), self-organization (volunteer basis, grassroot initiative), transparency (possibility to join the community at any time, and contribute to festival organization).

Cinema Perpetuum Mobile 2018 Manifesto

In the consumerist society, the festival is considered to be a commodity or an institution that serves this commodity. The evidence of this is a great number of festivals of cheese, sausages, beer, smoked meats and rodents, springing up like mushrooms after the rain. The main function of an ordinary festival is to produce entertainment and happiness. Festival turns into building of the citadel of hedonism. Entertainment, happiness and hedonism are perceived as legitimisation of consumption and dominant idea of commodity. We live in the epoch of Neo-Hellinism, when circuses once again become the ideological basis for the absolute authority and, in our case, economic system.

Belarusian cinemagoers, as members of the consumerist society, assess the quality of a commodity, voting with a ruble. Now we can see the results of this vote – the audience is getting bored at the cinema. They no longer feel happy to encounter the sublime on the screen and find no savour left in the magic of a cinema hall. Disappointed and frustrated, they try to find their happiness in other places. Standing in a queue to the unemployment centre, going to the sale of household goods at the department store or a local job fair – those and other ‘festivals’ of our age deprive us, the true representatives of the festival movement, of well-deserved laurels and reverence.

However, we are not afraid of hardships and ready to sacrifice the most precious for the sake of people’s happiness. Let the hamster wheel of our perpetuum mobile machine fall on its side and turn into something that fully corresponds to the people’s aspirations and ideas of the sublime – into the circus ring. And the bedsheet we used to project films gets distorted under the pressure of market demands and turns into a chapiteau tent.

Let the famous acrobats impress us with their tricks and the lions trained by some famous tamers demonstrate their surprising sense of duty and gentle character. Everything is made for your pleasure: transgender midgets, muscular clowns, and an old bear with an accordion. We live in the era of the circus society and this show must go on. So you are welcome to take your seats, relax and sink into the world of happiness. Happiness that is honest and truthful! Happiness that fits our pathetic postmodern reality!

Let’s feed Achilles with turtle soup! Belarusian draniki will be the second course and kompot by Cinema Perpetuum Mobile the third! Here it is, pleasure for the eye. Here it is, our last performance!

DIY OR DIE!

ВХОД СВОБОДНЫЙ на все события фестиваля!
The show must go on! |Представление должно продолжаться!

МАНИФЕСТ Cinema Perpetuum Mobile 2018

В обществе потребления фестиваль - это товар или его обслуживающая институция. Подтверждение - это растущие как грибы после дождя фестивали сыра, колбасы, пива, копченостей, грызунов… Основная функция заурядного фестиваля - производство развлечения, счастья. Фестиваль как возводимая цитадель гедонизма. Развлечение, счастье, гедонизм - это легитимация потребления и товарной доминанты. Мы живем в эпоху неоэллинизма, когда зрелища становятся идеологической опорой неограниченной власти, а в нашем случае - экономической системы.

Беларусский кинозритель как член общества потребления реагирует на качество предоставляемого ему товара, голосуя рублем. И мы видим результаты этого голосования - зрителю в кинотеатре просто скучно. Он перестал испытывать счастье от соприкосновения с прекрасным на экране, потерял вкус к магии кинозала. Раздосадованный и фрустрированный зритель идет искать счастье в других местах. Очередь в центре занятости, распродажа хозяйственных товаров в универмаге, районная ярмарка вакансий - эти и другие “фестивали” нашей эпохи лишают нас, истинных представителей фестивального движения, заслуженных лавров и почитания.

Но мы не боимся сложностей и готовы пожертвовать самым дорогим ради народного счастья. Пусть беличье колесо нашего вечного двигателя упадет на бок, превратившись в то, что наиболее полно соответствует народным чаяниям и представлениям о прекрасном: в арену цирка. А простыня, на которой мы проецировали наше кино, пусть изогнувшись под давлением рыночной необходимости, станет шатром шапито.

Пусть знаменитый акробат Владислав Сенькович поразит нас драматизмом своих номеров, а львы дрессировщиков братьев Зарецких удивят исполнительностью и ласковым нравом. Все ради вашей радости, все ради вашего удовольствия: карлики-трансгендеры и бородатые женщины, клоуны-качки и старый медведь с баяном. Мы живем в эпоху общества цирка и представление должно продолжаться. Просим занять ваши места согласно купленным билетам, принять расслабленную позу и погрузиться в мир нового счастья. Счастья более честного и правдивого! Счастья, соответствующего нашему незавидному постмодернистскому положению!

Накормим Ахиллеса черепаховым супом! Дранички бульбяные на второе. Компот от Cinema Perpetuum Mobile на третье! Вот она: услада для глаз! Вот он наш с вами последний спектакль!

The SHIFT6m , in addition to the SHIFT6mq our new high-end smartphone , was created from the SHIFT5pro project.

Despite almost constant dimensions, we were able to enlarge the display and approach us with the 5.7-inch display rather a SHIFT6, because the number stands with us for the inch size of the display. The “pro” from the former project name does not apply, because the uniqueness of our SHIFT6 is not only in the power , but also in its modularity . Consequently, it carries an “m” in the name. The difference between the SHIFT6m and the SHIFT6mqexists in the built-in chipsets. In the other technical data, the two devices will hardly differ.

With the SHIFT6m and the SHIFT6mq, the modular smartphones with powerful components, we are a pioneer. So far there is no comparable device worldwide.
