“Chromatic Wednesdays”is a bi-weekly event series organized by Apartment Project, which promotes artistic expression across various disciplines and formats. Each month, Chromatic Wednesdays focuses on a new theme, for which two events are realized. In 2022, the themes were: Improvisation, Exile, Precarity, Mutualism, Recurrence, Echoes, Divergence, Instability, Curiosity, Resonance, Sanctuary and Inversion. In 2023: Solidarity, Upheaval, Resistance, Light, Comma, Mythology, Position, Urbanism, Unbound, Dystopia, Home and Intelligence. Chromatic Wednesdays invited artists, musicians, performers, scientists and cultural practitioners to collaborate, experiment and share their unique research, practices and experiences with each other and the public. The events included a wide range of multidisciplinary, hybrid formats, including concerts, performances, workshops, film screenings, lectures, exhibitions, readings, and panel discussions.

In 2021 the project came to life as a reaction to artistic disruption caused by the pandemic.  Today numerous challenges persistently endanger cultural production. How do artists and  audiences from different backgrounds and mediums come together? What forms of new expression can be explored or can be expanded? What kind of new networks between institutions and artists can be established? How can these networks sustain the survival of the artists?

As part of Chromatic Wednesdays’ Season 2 and 3, a total of 167 participants from countries, such as Turkey, Germany, France, Italy, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Ukraine, Norway, Japan, Iran, Poland, Switzerland, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Sweden, Russia, China, the U.K, USA, Portugal, Columbia, Costa Rica, Cameroon, Namibia, Israel, Egypt, Spain, Austria, Ireland, Russia, Taiwan were invited. Of them, 92 female, 63 male and 12 non-binary participated.

The very first editions were streamed online due to Corona measures. Since June 2021, the events have been held in a hybrid format, mainly at the Apartment Project and online.

Sara Neidorf and Eli Lewy, directors of the Final Girls Berlin Film Festival, invited the audience to an evening of horror cinema with short films and artists’ moving images. Eerie, macabre and comedic, the works found a haunting and at times sadistic sense of pleasure in deconstructing the filmic conventions of horror cinema. By digesting images of the normative, intact body as a whole, they appropriated and transformed the tropes of the genre, revealing the everyday horror that surrounds us.

Final Girls Berlin Film Festival showcases horror films directed, written or produced by women and non-binary filmmakers. Founded by Sara Neidorf and Eli Lewy, the festival is committed to creating space for female voices and visions in the horror genre, whether monstrous, heroic or a messy combination of the two. Challenging representations of women as beautified victims and constructions of male fantasies or anxieties in the field, they promote films that see women as subjects and storytellers.

The video artist and documentarian Gloria Camiruaga (b. 1941, Santiago) obtained her bachelor’s degree from the Universidad de Chile in Santiago in 1971 and graduated in video art from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1980. As one of Chile’s first video artists, Camiruaga has dedicated her life to creating a space for women and transgender people to express themselves.

Maria Martínez Bayona (b. in Reus) is a Catalan/Spanish writer and director currently based in London. She moved to the UK in 2014 to pursue her MA in Directing Fiction at the National Film and TV School with the support of a La Caixa Scholarship. Her graduation film «MIA» premiered at the BFI London Film Festival, was long-listed for the BIFA Best British Short and won three awards at the RTS Student Awards, among others.

Through a multimedia art practice that encompassed drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, video and film, as well as through her work as a curator and writer, Ellen Cantor (1961-2013) advanced bold new feminist representations of sexuality and female disempowerment and empowerment. Integrating Hollywood fairy tale castles, horror movie «final girls», homemade sex tapes and video diaries into her own «true’ love stories», Cantor troubled boundaries between fiction and life, as well as public and private.

Laura Moss is a filmmaker from NYC whose work has screened at Tribeca, Rotterdam and SXSW. Their feature film «birth/rebirth» premiered in the
Midnight section at Sundance 2023 and is distributed in theaters by IFC Films the same year. Their short film «Fry Day» is currently featured on the Criterion Channel and their sci-fi/comedy pilot «eureka» won Best Director, Comedy Pilot at Seriesfest. Their award-winning screenplay, «Gordon», co-written with Brendan J. O’Brien, is currently in development.

Jordan Strafer (b. 1990, Miami) is a New York-based artist and filmmaker. Her art has been featured in galleries and museums throughout the United States and Europe, including Participant Inc, Housing, SculptureCenter and the New Museum in New York; Red Tracy in Copenhagen; and Berlin’s Haus Kulturen der Welt.

Marinah Janello Phennicie is a New England based filmmaker whose work deals with issues of circumstance through humor and creative writing. Her short films and installations have been displayed at PopopStudios International Center for the Arts, Slamdance Film Festival, Maryland Film Festival and Fantasia International film Festival, among others.

Emily Wilson is a filmmaker originally from Syracuse, New York, and a proud alum of the SUNY Purchase Film Conservatory.  As a writer/director, her films tend to be darkly comedic, outrageous in subject matter and often satirical. Her short comedy pilot («I Adore Dolores») won «Most Outrageous» at Orlando Film Festival and her subsequent film («Danny’s Girl») premiered within the Midnight Shorts Category at Sundance Film Festival.
