KINOMATIK began experimenting with the VJ scene and the relationship between image, darkness, and sound within underground DIY events and clubs in their hometown of Athens, Greece. Their work draws inspiration from the experimental cinema of Eisenstein, Derek Jarman, Maya Deren, and Stan Brakhage, as well as the aesthetics of post-punk video clips— blending digital software with analogue machines, synchronized to the music of live bands and DJs.
Through their audiovisual group The Erasers, they have spent over a decade pushing boundaries, creating performances that merge real-time cinema, theatre, digital punk imagery, and club culture.
For Weirdwaves Festival, expect a performance based on dark wave and synth-driven sonic input, constructed from videotapes, memories, slides, trauma, and resistance.
Kinomatik has performed at, among others, Mapping Festival (Geneva), Live Cinema Festival (Rome), Festival Arte Digitale (Brazil), ICA (London), Schleuse Festival (Berlin), Wave-Gothic-Treffen, and has holds a VJ residency at the legendary Gegen Berlin events.

Ann-Mar is a Berlin-based DJ, teacher, and radio producer at Weird Fishes Radio. For over
two decades, she has navigated the city’s concrete landscape while keeping her Aegean soul
intact. Shaped by the grit of dark basements and the Athenian nightlife, her aesthetic is a
love letter to the bats, the goths, and the DIY spirit. Whether broadcasting or behind the
decks, she operates under a singular North Star: "love music hate fascism." Her sonic world
is a deep dive into the avant-garde and the analog, moving through the cold precision of EBM
and IDM to the raw energy of post-punk and metal. For Weirdwaves Festival, Ann-Mar
returns to her roots to curate a Greek Wave journey, weaving together the haunting shadows
of 1980s Greece with the pulsing, synth-driven sounds of the modern underground.
