One World Berlin 

This year we have developed a new section, One World Berlin Online. At www.oneworld-berlin.de/stream you can watch the 2010 festival entry Complaints Choir (in cooperation with Smog Veil Records and Beofilm) for free until December 15, 2010. Furthermore, video recordings of film discussions and other bonus material can be accessed. One World Berlin Online is a development of SpreadScreen (www.spreadscreen.com), a new application facilitating the use of viral online cinema for communication campaigns.

About the film:
Complaints Choir is a funny yet thought provoking documentary following the worldwide Complaints Choir art project by the Finnish artist couple Tellervo & Oliver Kalleinen.
The film centers on both artists and choir members during the making of Complaints Choirs in Chicago, Singapore and beyond. Also the film goes outside the art project, in real life as well as online on YouTube, to drum up odd and beautiful tales of complaining.

The film delves on the questions; what is complaining? Why do so many people spend so much energy on it? Is it bad for your mind or is it really a basic manner of communication serving the purpose of emotional relief? And ultimately, what happens if people in a society are not at all allowed to complain?

In a form that balances straightforward storytelling with a more kaleidoscopic style and catches the fascination and lunacy behind the fantastic Complaints Choir idea, Complaints Choir investigates into a phenomena that seems to be binding us all together.

The original score is by Danish electronica musician and producer Trentemøller. An unreleased track from the score can be listened to.

One World Berlin Online can be shared via Facebook and Twitter and is also embeddable into your own website.

Enjoy the film and please help us spread the word by sharing the link, embed code or spreading it through social networks.
Thanks!
