Xanadu is located in the front half of the former Horse & Pony exhibition space near Körnerpark in Neukölln (Horse &  Pony will continue its programming in the basement of the current space). Xanadu is run by carrick bell, who is one half of the team behind Horse & Pony. Xanadu is intended as a space dedicated to consistent presentations of artists'  moving image work. The program has two primary tracks: on the one hand, outside programmers and artists are invited to present programmed screenings on specific themes, formats, artistic movements, etc. On the other, they are presenting monographic screenings of individual artists's works, alongside programmed screenings that contextualize that artist's practice.

For Xanadu x Berlin, we've invited several other Berlin-based platforms to present moving image programs that represent their own distinctive approaches to the problems and opportunities posed by attempts to present the medium outside of standard institutionalized contexts. As a relatively new space, Xanadu is using the Project Space Festival as a chance to gather together some (but of course not all) of the other independent and artist-run moving image initiatives in Berlin, both to foster dialogue between us and to present the Project Space Festival audiences with a sampling of our various approaches to thinking about artists' moving image work.
