Save the Place, the tragic end of a real-estate agent

In St. Pölten, Austria, at the Queer Feminist Network meeting, a workshop on DIY film making by Ola Marty took place.

The first result was, after 4 people came together (Ola, Iwan, Antidote and Lun Ario) a first short film "Save the Place".

the scrip was scribbled rather than writen in 10 minutes, the costumes were gathered from the "take and give" place at the LAMES house, the filming took 2 hours, the cutting and general post-production another 2 hours.

Synopsis: A real-estate agent visits the LAMES premises in St Pölten, where a queer meeting is taking place. She looks forward to accomplish her dreams of intense real-estate development of the area. But not everybody shares her dreams...

This film is purely fictional and intended as comedy and although we fight gentrification and mainstream pressure, we don't condone violence against real-estate agents.

Feedback welcome!



With some more time, a mute film structure was adopted, a more careful post production took place and new storyline elements were integrated. Save the Place, the timeless version in Sepia




But it was found out that the images lost much of its cheerfulness and strenght with monocromacity, so we kept the model and adopted a 50´s technicolour colour scheme. Save the Place, the timeless version (final):

Workshop, regular: Bondage 101

We offer in Berlin a monthly Bondage 101 hands-on workshop. First official date, 7.9.2011 Currently: 1st Thursday in the month. We are considering offering a second event in the month, like a moderated improvisation session aka "pratica" Safety, fun, first steps, first meters of rope. Being a monthly event, the scope will move to more advanced topics, but we insist in having as part of the concept that it should remain a beginner-friendly event. there is vegan soup to receive all participants, and a small donation, according to one´s self-evaluated finantial situation is encouraged. invitational, place not publicly disclosed, write us (info right hand side at this blog) if you want to know more.

Cena do Ócio productions

We went show business, that everybody knows, assuming that DIY products which barely raise donations could remotely be considered "business". So, not satisfied about doing performance and documentaries on appalling topics, we decided to try our rusty fingers at doing some music. So, Cena do Ócio will be an umbrella for our films, CDs and performances. it will have its own homepage soon, but until then you can find us here, and make us very happy. We (me and Lun Ario) are currently working feverlishly to finish a single (called "Our lives are shapped by what we love") containing at least a song as hommage to the communities and movements which shaped our lives (it is actually called "communities"). It is irony and smart-aleckdness free, just thankfulness and bliss. Hopefully to be aired at open stage at the Queertopiafestivalen Norberg where we will show "Vacations in Slut Meadow".
