    Rencontres | Reminder: Call for Proposals for the 35th Annual Meeting

    For the 35th Annual Meeting of the Associations Inédits, which will take place at the Lichtspiel / Kinemathek Bern between the 25th and the 27th of November 2025, the organizers are looking forward to presentations on equipment (cameras, projectors, viewers, scanners, splicers etc) that was either entirely selfmade by an amateur or by an archive or adapted or changed in a way to fit the specific needs of a filmmaker or archive.

    Please send in a picture / or a link to the film and a short description of the object in question and how much time you would need to present it at inedits@lichtspiel.ch until the 15th of July.

    Some examples from the Lichtspiel:

    – the home/self made Praxinoscope

    – a home made film scanner

    – a perforation machine made by amateur Paul Goy

    – a 16mm projector adapted into 9.5mm for the stronger lightsource

    We know of a projector built with Meccano parts, a home made underwater camera and many other examples. Are they rare? How will we know if we never show them?

    When it comes to home made films we can think of Josef Mroz from Vienna and his self invented color process, we can think of again Paul Goy adding magnetic sound to his 9.5mm film about Bern or of Adolf Lörtscher developing color reversal material at home.

    Or we can take it further and think of very rare models of equipment or protoypes (German only).
