Pink tour

  • Peter Hammer - Notes from The Unreal
    Chance encounters with a critical rabbit and someone named Santa Cruz have played a decisive role in Peter Hammer’s research. His work centres on imagination as a critical mode of emancipation from dominant narratives, taking cues from coincidence and free association. In this presentation he will share his own evidence of what he calls The Unreal.
  • Bora Lee-Kil (Re)writing history through gesture and body movement
    I had an abortion. My mother had abortions. My grandmother had abortions, too.
    Why can we not share this experience?
    Bora Lee-Kil presents her film-in-progress, Our Bodies, which focuses on the prohibition of abortion and the influence this has on the women in her family. Bora Lee-Kil elaborates on the relation between Korean collectivism and bodily memory.
  • 10 years Master of Film
    Part of this year’s exhibition is the Ten Years Master of Film installation. This  installation offers a selection of the finest film and art projects that originated within the context of the programme.The participating alumni are Maria Molina Peiró (2017), Agnese Cornelio (2014), Louis HotHotHot (2017), Emilio Reyes-Bassail (2017), Rosanne Pel (2015) and Ruben van Leer (2013). On this Colour Tour your guide will briefly explain the projects.

Blue Tour

 

  • Albert Kuhn – In spite of Time
    By showing experiments carried out during the master’s programme, Albert Kuhn will explain his changing attitude towards filmmaking in relation to politics. He will share how he moved from ‘making political cinema’ to ‘politicizing the making’. As a case study for his research, Albert will introduce his film-in-progress Dreams for a Better Past, about the history of his father’s activism in Berlin in the 1970s.
  • Stefan Pavlović – Eye see too, in You - Friendship beyond Language.
    Stefan Pavlović takes the visitors to a small, intimate room where he will introduce his research and film project Looking for Horses and share his thoughts on exhibits, both visual and written. During the talk, he will show the first fifteen minutes of Looking for Horses.
  • Yafit Taranto – Through the Eye of the Needle.
    A group of women are brought together at sewing machines. At first glance it may appear to be a sweatshop in which women are bound by classic roles and professions, but behind their machines, their separate voices, sounds and materials become an orchestra of united movement. In this performance in a non-cinematic location, the actors, makers and spectators are invited to meet, interact and create the outcome together.

Yellow Tour

 

 

  • Giorgia Piffaretti – Familiarscope, unfolding layers of meaning
    What is visible at first sight? What do we see, what do we notice? And what is added by an engaged way of looking, or rather, by attempting to look ‘beyond the ordinary’? In this presentation, Giorgia Piffaretti will reflect on the method she calls ‘familiarscope’. She does so by introducing a newsstand close to the Swiss-Italian border ‘as a device with multiple functions’.
  • Jan-Timo Geschwill – Ich habe es nicht gewusst (I didn’t know)
    A presentation in which Jan-Timo Geschwill critically reflects on his research into the relation between the self, self-portrait, family history and virtual reality.
  • Robin Coops - A manual into the interdisciplinary songbook
    The interdisciplinary songbook is a performance lecture on the methods Robin Coops has been exploring while using jazz as a metaphor for filmmaking. Each day a different guest musician will join the performance lecture.
