04. April, 10 pm (Screening, 16mm/digital) / afterwards Party UT Connewitz
In the 1980s, New York’s East Village brings together artists who radically revolt: against the good taste, against the saturated art scene, against an avant-garde cinema that has made itself comfortable. The cinematic results of this protest dominate sex, blood, open wounds, disfigured bodies, senseless violence, blasphemy and desecration, as well as humorous attacks on the bourgeois welfare. We show a selection of authoritative Cinema of Transgression short films as well as violations and transgressions from earlier phases of American experimental film.

Slow but steadily the band begins to play..GEGENkino is very happy to announce the first item on the programme!
Panel discussion: What will the pictures look like after the pictures?
The discussion will be about self-conception, conditions of existence and unique characteristics of cinema. In doing so, we will talk about cinema as locus and, for that matter, as cultural experience. The omnipresent possibility of reproducing pictures digitally – in exhibitions, the internet and on BluRays – offers a simplified access to pictures. Beyond that, can it also reproduce the genuine quality of experiencing films, this unique form of perception that differs from classical fine arts? Does film become art as soon as it leaves the cinema hall? Is it not already the case before that?

The wise people who didn’t go to bulky Rummelsnuff came to see our shocking soli-movie from Greece. Like Rummelsnuff – we had lots of meat to show. Plus: we drank lots of red wine – & had great phun! Thx for coming, all of you! And: Thx for your $$$. YES!
OH YESSS – the first drafts of the GEGENkino-Poster have arrived!
Splendid stuff!
Ricaletto – our poster boy – can be a mighty fast worker! While drawing, he prefers not to be seen & to remain silent – with his headlamp on [aka weirdo].
Now we’ll choose one, print it somewhere & then you’ll see them – soon – on crumbling walls near you.
Another thing, kidz: don’t forget about your Friday plans – GEGENliebe!
