Op vrijdag 4 november wordt de screening gevolgd door een gesprek met Johannes Gierlinger, gemodereerd door Florian Wüst.

Herinner je je ‘het einde van de geschiedenis’? De beruchte opmerking van de Amerikaanse politicoloog Francis Fukuyama – naar aanleiding van de val van de Sovjet-Unie in het begin van de jaren ‘90 – bleek in vele opzichten onjuist te zijn. De universalisering van de zogenaamd zegevierende westerse liberale democratie is ontmaskerd als een zeer kolonialistisch project. 

Meer recentelijk worden de burgerrechten en mensenrechten, die door decennia van maatschappelijke strijd tot stand zijn gebracht, door rechtse bewegingen betwist, en autocratische regeringen en neoconservatieve rechtspraak zijn in opkomst. Geschiedenis is een kwestie van perspectief; ze wordt voortdurend geproduceerd; ze wordt vergeten of leeft voort, onverwerkt, altijd klaar om met geweld weer op te duiken. Deze uitdagende films onderzoeken de rol die taal en beelden spelen in tijden van maatschappelijke, politieke en economische polarisatie; ze duiken in de vluchtige aard van het verleden, maar werpen ook een blik op nieuwe voorstellingen van de wereld.

Peggy Ahwesh

― Kunstenaar

Peggy Ahwesh (United States) has produced one of the most heterogeneous bodies of work in experimental film and video. True to her bricolage approach, her tools include narrative and documentary styles, improvised performance, Super-8 film, found footage, digital animation and Pixelvision video. With playfulness and humour, she investigates cultural and gender identities, the role of the subject, language and representation.

Johannes Gierlinger

― Kunstenaar

Johannes Gierlinger (Austria) studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. In his work he engages with history, memory and resistance, their forms of representation and spaces of possibilities. He explores readings, doubts and possible future images in the form of essayistic works. His work has been shown at Austrian and international film festivals and institutions, including Visions Du Réel Nyon, Belvedere21 Vienna, Werkleitz Center for Media Art, CPH:DOX, Ifa Galerie Stuttgart, Edinburgh IFF, Dokufest Prizren, FIC Valdivia, Das Weisse Haus, Rotor Graz, Mumok Cinema, and Diagonale Graz. Gierlinger lives and works in Vienna.

Aleksandar Ilić

― Kunstenaar

Aleksandar Ilić (Serbia) was a Yugoslav writer, editor and director. He was one of the most important filmmakers in former Yugoslavia and modern Serbia, primarily of documentaries and of popular science films. Illic died in 2012 at 85 years of age. In 1945, following the Second World War and his imprisonment in a German camp, he started working at the film company Zvezda and was one of the first students at Belgrade film school, where he opted for training for the creative job of editing. After completing his military service at the newly formed military film company Zastava, he continued working there as an editor there for several years. He then went on to take up positions at Hunting Forest Farm Jelen, Dunav Film, Television Belgrade and Yugoslavia Publicity Company. His vast body of work comprises more than 500 films that he either edited or also authored, directed and sound-designed. Most of Ilic’s films employ metaphors involving animals and their survival to speak about humans and our relations with each other and nature. In short they are fables on film. They include the masterpieces Ice (Led), Owl (Sova) and Mallet (Malj). He was widely recognised for his creativity and won domestic and international awards, including the City of Belgrade’s October Award, the UFUS Charter for contribution to Serbian cinematography and a Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, as well as recognition for his outstanding contribution to the national culture of the Republic of Serbia.

Wang Yuyan

― Kunstenaar

Wang Yuyan (China) is a filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist living in Paris. She graduated from Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2016 and from Le Fresnoy National Studio of Contemporary Arts, Tourcoing, France in 2020. She draws inspiration from endless, industrial-scale media production. Her works oscillate between film and installation and often offer an immersive perspective accompanied by a process of disintegrating abstraction.
