krake ak kraak
Coming out of the squatters movement in east-berlin during the begining of the 90ies, ak kraak still considers itself as a confused gang of young urban videoactivists, of comical camcorder commandantes and elderly lovers of critical riotclips. With it´s videotape-magazin, which is not regularly published, but distributed germany wide, ak kraak offers different political initiatives of the radical / subcultural left a space on it´s tape and covers local and international actions and campaigns from the anti-nuclear movement in the Wendland to the movement of the Zapatistas in Chiapas.
With it`s strange mixture of short clips, bad jokes, and critical documentaries the magazin functions not only as an entertaining, alternative family-tv, but also as a moment of discussion in between different subcultural and political groups, as a true mindbending counterinformation-machine in the homevideo-department.
Besides the magazin ak kraak also produces longer single-issue documentaries, especially in relation to the anti-globalization-movement.
