SPECIAL PROGRAMS AT OBERHAUSEN FILM FESTIVAL: In 2002, the special program will be "Catastrophe", (Curated by: Florian Wüst) and will examine images of catastrophe and how images regulate the ambivalence between attraction and fear. The program will examine media representations of catastrophes, their fabrication for political purposes as well as stories of disasters. War, eco-disaster, terror, states of emergency or personal catastrophes such as traumata, social blunders or simply missing the person you love: "Catastrophe" will present individual survival strategies as well as utopian and dystopian visions of the future: Marina Grzinic, Aina Smid
