A selection of Berlin filmmakers and artists who
are friends of Directors Lounge and who have been
screening their work on several occasions.
Curated by Klaus W. Eisenlohr.
Berlin is turning into a filmmaker's city again.
We are not talking about mainstream cinema, but
in terms of experimental and art production,
there is a considerable growth. There are new
places for film and video, new collaborations and
a growing continuity. Directors Lounge is a proud
part of it. Many of the new works strive for a
radical subjectivity, a presence by virtue of
their images. The tradition of experimental film
becomes renewed maybe in a turn against
tendencies of documentation and documented
activism in art. With a world out of joint, a
search for a genuine form and subjective
expression may be more important than before.
Reality, or rationality, for the sake of theory,
may also be described as a form of radical
subjectivity, following Keith Lehrer (American
philosopher on epistemology), as it cannot be
constituted only by knowledge and empirical
evidence. Rationality is also based on an active
construction of a world view, or a radical
commitment to contemporariness. There is a
reason, why dictators and anti-democratic
movements mostly have turned against the
contemporary art of their time, which also
applies to right-wing populists, and religious
fundamentalists. Subjectivity, image production
by compositing, blending and merging create new
views onto reality. Sometimes, however, it just
needs a specific light, or the combination of two
images in film montage in order to create a
radically different view.
These films are radically subjective in a way
that they constitute reality, or a contemporary
world. The work of Deborah Uhde ("cockpit" 2014)
looks at the developments around the subterranean
nuclear depots of Sasse as a story of science
fiction. Johnny Welch, on the other hand commits
himself to a radical exploration of blackness in
his video "Discharge Working II" 2018. Björn
Speidel ("Wanderlust Iteration #1") works with
3-D illusions, which not only create an illusion
of space, but sometimes also of rotation.
Gabriele Stellbaum films ("Heretofore") seem to
be narratives, but they turn into essays about
contemporary human conflicts. Mélissa Faivre
("Underneath it all") combines images to a stream
of conscious and subconscious passage ways. Petra
Lottje ("Kollwitz Goethe") makes a self-portrait
of Käthe Kollwitz speak a quote by J. W. Goethe
using animation techniques.
