April 21st – May 1st 2016
The End Is Always Revoultion.
Tomorrow’s live set by Alec Empire will be in the style of his mid-90′s stuff. Finest analog material straight from the pre-digital age – just like the video for his 1995 track »Low On Ice«. Play it!
Plus, don’t forget:
GEGENkino presents »My Talk with Florence« w/ live score by Alec Empire (AUT 2015, 129 min, German w/ English subtitles directed by: Paul Poet)

(the director will be present)
Here’s the trailer for »My Talk with Florence«:
GEGENkino presents
»My Talk with Florence« w/ live score by Alec Empire
AUT 2015, 129 min, German w/ English subtitles, directed by: Paul Poet
14th January 2016, 8pm – UT Connewitz
(the director will be present)
An interview film as a live concert. Alec Empire (Atari Teenage Riot, Producer for Björk, Nine Inch Nails et al.), Berlin’s godfather of intelligent electronica music, beat activist and punk-floor pioneer, will peform a live score for the brand new cinematic work by Paul Poet (Ausländer raus! Schlingensief’s Container, EMPIRE ME)—one of the leading Austrian directors for provocative political films—in the style of Empire’s early solo works for Mille Plateaux label. Heart-rending in the echo chamber!
Raw, direct, shocking. In the interview film »My Talk with Florence« Florence Burnier-Bauer talks, starting with her childhood, about the dramatic life she led in the beginning of the 80s in Otto Mühl’s commune in Friedrichshof/Burgenland. What she found there, instead of physical and mental relief, were authoritarian, fascist hierarchies, abuse, harrassment and violence. Director Paul Poet allows Florence full bent on her memories, when she re-invokes the ghosts of her past in search for catharsis. Cinematically, truly in the tradition of cinéma verité the film offers an unrelenting insight and tells the story of Florence’s emancipation and her hard and strugglesome path to »saying no« in a purist way
T I C K E T S are available at Culton (Peterssteinweg 9) and online at TixforGigs.
As already announced, on 2 Dec 2015 GEGENkino and UT Connewitz will
bring you two of Anja Kirschner’s collaboration works that she did with
David Panos.
The films will be shown in original English version. For further information about the two films check:

It’s the great and unexpected return of GEGENkino!
We have a very special event coming up end of this year.
In a cooperation with the Expanded Cinema class of HGB Leipzig, we will organize a workshop with video artist Anja Kirschner,
which will be about advanced approaches to scriptwriting. The workshop
will be held in German, which is why the rest of this post will be in
just that language:
In einem 5-tägigen Workshop erläutert die
Künstlerin Anja Kirschner ausgehend von ihrer eigenen Praxis und der
anderer KünstlerInnen, wie man sich dem Drehbuchschreiben nähern kann,
wenn man ausserhalb konventioneller Formate und für eigene »moving
image«-Projekte schreibt.
Die Darstellung grundsätzlicher Regeln des
Drehbuchschreibens stehen hierbei genauso im Zentrum des Interesses wie
deren Anwendung und Variation innerhalb der künstlerischen Produktion.
Schwerpunktmäßig geht es um erweiterte und »nicht-narrative« Strukturen,
die Verwendung von fremden Texten, Improvisation und Kollaboration und
um den Umgang mit dokumentarischem Material und sachlicher Recherche.
GEGENkino und Klasse Expanded Cinema (HGB) präsentieren:
Anja Kirschner »SCHREIBEN UM GEDREHT ZU WERDEN«
Drehbuchworkshop für KünstlerInnen
30.11.-4.12.2015, täglich 10-16 Uhr, HGB Leipzig
Teilnahmegebühr: 75 Euro
Anmeldung: kontakt[at]gegenkino.de
Die
TeilnehmerInnenzahl ist leider begrenzt. Ihr werdet daher möglichst
zeitnah von uns benachrichtigt, ob ihr letztlich tatsächlich am Workshop
teilnehmen könnt.
Im Zuge des Workshops zeigt das UT Connewitz zudem in Anwesenheit Anja Kirschners zwei ihrer Kollaborationen mit David Panos:
»ULTIMATE SUBSTANCE« (2012 von Kirschner/Panos) und »AN EXCHANGE FOR FIRE« (2013 von Kirschner/Panos)
02.12.2015, 20 Uhr – UT Connewitz
