La bella maledetta / 19326.03 voti

Jutta è una ragazza selvaggia che i contadini del suo villaggio considerano una strega. Solo lei del resto è capace di arrivare in cima alla montagna quando da questa, nelle notti di luna piena, scende una luce blu. Ma un giorno arriva al villaggio un pittore che la segue nell'ascesa verso il monte. Film di montagna della Riefenstahl, che subito dopo sarà la regista ufficiale del Fuhrer. E già in questo film, nonostante tra gli sceneggiatori figuri il teorico del cinema Bela Balasz (comunista), c'è aria di "sangue e suolo".

The way in which fleeing shapes and changes a person is not only related to the experiences made in their country of origin, and certainly not to their own motivation and strength.

The arrival in Germany is truly complicated, challenging, and layered to say the least. Four BIPoC Queer/Trans*/Non-Binary people sensitively share their personal experiences, their feelings, and their hopes and dreams.

The Light of the World / 2015

Klaus Wyborny’s STUDIEN ZUM UNTERGANG DES ABENDLANDS had its premiere at the Viennale in 2010, where it got rave reviews. Afterwards it was shown at several film festivals where Wyborny documented the cinema situations with a video camera. Out of that he made DAS LICHT DER WELT. In a letter to Harun Farocki he wrote about the result: “It’s a strange 86-minute film, partly in the form of a superimposition of seven image-layers. It has the same music (played sevenfold) and the same light-structure as STUDIES FOR THE DECAY OF THE WEST, but it takes place in seven different locations simultaneously, in front of competely different audiences. So one can see how the film was brought to the DAS LICHT DER WELT, and how the observed viewers are in some sense illuminated by the very light, that exposed my original films between 1979 and 1993. Quite a haunting prospect.”
