A German police state of the past is the setting for the pulsating short film thriller Es gibt keine Angst (Afraid Doesn\u2019t Exist). In it, Anna Zett collages video and audio material from the Berlin Archive of the GDR Opposition, partially taking the perspective of a sensitive child. Based on her own intimate involvement, the artist traces a successful, yet mostly unknown act of resistance at the very end of the GDR, while at the same time opening up an associative space for connecting with experiences of violence that are otherwise difficult to access today. Vocally highly condensed voices from a 1986 East Berlin poetry reading support the voiceless narrator \u2013 \u201can adult child\u201d \u2013 in the reconstruction of her own emotional world, as does the multi-layered musical score. From footage of the environmental library to private videos and journalistic material, the film leads to the second occupation of the Stasi headquarters in Berlin-Lichtenberg in September1990, where it settles into a very different mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\nExhibition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A collection of images reproduced from films, museums, and archives, Exhibition weaves together multiple biographies and texts to construct a single imaginary subject. Eija-Riitta Ekl\u00f6f-Berliner-Mauer marries the Berlin Wall and turns her home into a museum of architectural miniatures to abate her longing for those objects. Mary Richardson stabs Diego Vel\u00e1zquez\u2019s \u201cThe Toilet of Venus\u201d as an act of protest and dedication to an imprisoned suffragette. Shifting into first person point-of-view, the narration combines quotations from the painter Agnes Martin, early eye tracking studies, Sigmund Freud\u2019s case history of \u201cRat Man,\u201d and an account of a Klein bottle\u2019s misuse as a candlestick holder. The film fragments, copies, and excerpts to create a portrait of desire and trespass, becoming a meditation on the assertion and refusal of subjecthood. \u201cI\u2019m not a woman.

Bergamo, northern Italy. Fede\u2019s days are spent between school and a home run by nuns. In a corridor of the Pensionato, Fede sees Valentina, a new tenant, for the first time. In the middle of a choreography of open, semi-open and closed doors, unknown feelings arise. As sudden as the luminosity of a flashlight entering a room at night. As odd as mixing new flavours. Another world is born inside the one Fede knew, with different questions and possibilities. What does it mean to desire?<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt’s a Date<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During a casual meeting, Earth finds out that his definition of the term \u201cfuture\u201d is drastically different from his sister\u2019s. The more he tries to involve himself in the fruit juice business, the less he feels needed there. Earth eventually decides to distance himself from the family operation and resumes his old hobby, writing a violent, psychic, irrational, abstract, gory, and unrealistic novel. Switching narrative directions as well as languages, Mangosteen weaves a meandering path through factory floors and orchards. The film was shot on outdated Digital8 video cameras and follows no clear narrative logic. It is a film as much about storytelling as it is about its protagonist\u2019s erratic and surprising idiosyncrasies.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMarungka tjalatjunu (Dipped in Black)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Meticulously, they inspect their own body as the camera looks on, documenting every step of their transition. Yet what starts off as a young filmmaker\u2019s audiovisual diary soon expands into a confrontation with their own past. It is not easy to break out of a cocoon spun from motherly demands and grievances \u2013 especially when your body gets treated as a family matter, and when your need for autonomy is met with incomprehension.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
