AC-03 EJECT VIII

Introduction:

It started as an anarchistic, absurd, mold-breaking event idea in a factory yard in Prenzlauer Berg, and has turned into a real audience magnet. "Eject" has survived its 7th-year curse and returned to await 800 audience members in the Großer Saal at the Volksbühne on Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz.

20 strange and unconventional films about anything from accidents and mishaps, very loud screams for love, and various home and away games are ready to be nominated or "ejected" by you......in a voting process that*s as unique as the films.
Have your mirrors ready to pick the strangest of the strange: Eject!
