Places
The VideoFilmFest took place in the spaces of the MedienOperative and the Deutsche Akademie der Künste in the former eastern part of Berlin. In 1993 it changed locations and went into the Podewil, which inhabits the offices of transmediale since 1997. For a short period of time (2006–2008), the Podewil was named Tesla Berlin and was closely intertwined with the transmediale, not least because Andreas Broeckmann was one of the three directors of the Tesla to that time. In the years between 2002 until 2005 the festival took place at the im House of World Cultures. In 2006 it moved into the Akademie der Künste, but is back in the House of World Cultures since 2008.

Famous quotes containing the word places:
“The places which I have described may seem strange and remote to my townsmen ... our account may have made no impression on your minds. But what is our account? In it there is no roar, no beach-birds, no tow-cloth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken—and I’d rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.... I wish I could care what you do or where you go, but I can’t. My dear, I don’t give a damn.”
—Margaret Mitchell (1900–1949)
“All men are lonely. But sometimes it seems to me that we Americans are the loneliest of all. Our hunger for foreign places and new ways has been with us almost like a national disease. Our literature is stamped with a quality of longing and unrest, and our writers have been great wanderers.”
—Carson McCullers (1917–1967)
