Programm 1 | program 1 Konfrontationen | Confrontations (die neugierigen Blicke und der Spiegel-Blick) | 9 filme/video | 93 min | ||||||
|
This program illuminates the tension between 'fact and fiction' respectively 'picture and image'. Here we find poetic, documentary and narrative settings; in many of these films appear 'dancing people', who are either observed by a hidden camera or pleasurefully choreographed. Some of these films prove an 'ethnic' interest (also in the Western Civilized); others are inspired by the consumary world (also by the consumary world of pictures). A film program between 'ready-made'-manufacture and 'Pop-obsession'. (MB) [deutsch] |

In the Golden Gate Park in San Francisco many people fall into a trance during the summer nights. They let themselves be carried away by the bands and through the rhythmic stimulation of dancing and drum playing body and soul are inspired. The experimental composition of sound and visuals, shot on infrared film, was created for the "Kleine Nachtmusik für Traumtänzer" (petty night-music for dream-dancers).
Angela Hanke-Wahls is working on moving images since 1991. She combines different fragments of dream, diary notes and manipulates experienced realities and brings about the interlocking of different planes of conciousness. | ||||||

A short story about new bodies, the power of denial and a state of no sunshine. - Two infantile bodies are floating in a cyberspace ball. They are simultaneously connected with two subconscious bodies in the background. The attempt of unification and metamorphosis is interrupted by one part, mean-while the other part is liberated. A glance over the shoulder means destruction. The sources for the soundtrack are fragments of the childhood voices of early Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder songs.

x Programm 1 Konfrontationen | confrontations (die neugierigen Blicke und der Spiegel-Blick) Dieses Programm beleuchtet das Spannungsfeld zwischen 'fact und fiction' bzw. 'Bild und Abbild'. Hier finden sich poetische, dokumentarische und narrative Ansätze; in vielen dieser Filmen tauchen 'Tanzende' auf, die entweder mit verdeckter Kamera beobachtet oder lustvoll choreographiert werden. Einige der Filme belegen ein 'ethnologisches' Interesse (auch an den westlich Zivilisierten); andere sind von der Warenwelt (auch von der Warenwelt der Bilder) inspiriert. Ein Filmprogramm zwischen 'ready-made'-Konfektion und 'pop-Obsession'. (MB)
