How did this grant contribute to the realization of your project in regard to artistic exchange, local cultural development and/or the promotion of cultural diversity?

Through the contacts we already have in Portugal we met people and artists in Guimaraes and Porto who gave us useful tips. Our research has been easier in this way. We could intense our relation to the artistic scene of Porto. We presented spontaneously a video performance we are working on at the moment. Our trip lead to 3 new partnerships. Two artist, Joao Ricardo and Laetitia Morais we invited to come to Berlin to be part of the festival After the Crisis, which we organised. We recorded the work of the sound artist HystericalOneManOrchestra to present it in Berlin and Kaiserslautern.

Can you elaborate on the learning and knowledge you have gained and shared throughout this experience?

Intercultural competence, flexibility and artistic creativity is automatically growing when you travel and work in foreign countries. As a filmmakers it´s inspiring to discover unknown environments with your media.
