Well, it was a long silence so far and unlike a letter box where no news are good news, this rule of thumb sadly doesn't count for a festival!
As most people shall have noticed our home of the last years the Zukunft am Ostkreuz is struggeling hard to keep its existence and recently the date until the rent ends has been at least relongered for 2 more month. Which are without doubts good news and we hope that this will not be the last good news!!!
On the other hand its not easy to keep up the otimism when you take a look how this city treats subcultural places (which are mainly focused on culture, not on spinning the cash wheel) and how much places have been vanished and evicted above the last decades (and this process is speeding up drastically).
Concerning the MCF, a swing from month to month makes the festival simply not planable. We also checked other options to set it up but didn't found a location so far where we feel well and the frame suits our expectations.
So we deceided to cancel the MCF again. This time not due to pandemic but to the virus of displacement! No new date for a next try so far but we will be back if we have found an alternative or what would be our favorite option, in a not threatened Zukunft am Ostkreuz!!!
So long, stay safe and healthy!
...we will be back!
