Lange Nacht
with Svetlana Maraš, Okapi and many more
The Long Night did not grow out of the festival alone, but from a concert form developed by the composers' collective katarakt back in the 1990s. The concept is simple, but holds new surprises every year, as the festival primarily presents first and world premieres by the local scene and international guests, alternating with experimental short films. The Serbian electronic musician and composer Svetlana Maraš will be a special guest. Maraš works at the intersection of experimental music, sound art and new media. She describes her music as “complex and dense musical structures and forms without exact repetitions.” Rather a continuously changing sound over the course of time.
Other participants include the improvisation project Okapi (Sascha Demand, John Eckhardt, Tobias Gronau and René Huthwelker) and many other local composers and musicians. klub katarakt will continue the collaboration with the Short Film Agency Hamburg in 2025 and show experimental films as part of the program.
