Unfortunately, the MOTEL Regiekollektiv had to cancel their visit and won’t come to the screening of TARA tonight.

THE ORNITHOLOGIST (PT/F/BRA, 2016, João Pedro Rodrigues)
Maybe you’ve seen some films by the likes of Pedro Costa or Miguel Gomes already, then it should be no big news for you anymore that contemporary Portuguese cinema is definitely something to keep on radar. Not unlike those two directors, João Pedro Rodrigues’ cinematic language is also quite unique and inventive and his way […]
See you tonight!
Interview: Wang Bing – Film Comment
Thanks a ton, all of you, for coming to our exhibition, discussion and screenings on the weekend at Schaubühne Lindenfels. We feel really honoured to have such a wonderful audience… seriously!
So, tonight we’ll hopefully see each other again at UT Connewitz for Wang bing’s recent film TA’ANG.
TA’ANG
(HK/F 2016, Doc, D: Wang Bing, OV/English subtitles, 142’)
10 April, 8pm – UT Connewitz
Here’s a small interview with Wang Bing to get yourselves an idea of his way of working.
“[T]he documentary form is the most viable way for me to make movies in China. By following people’s everyday life, I don’t have to look for actors and direct them, I don’t have to ask a lot of people to work together for me, and I don’t have to ask permission to anybody. The ways in which the Chinese film industry limits filmmakers become invalid for me, if I shoot inexpensive movies about the real life of the people with a small crew. That’s why I keep on making documentaries: I like genuine stories, and I like to feel free.” (Wang Bing)
GEGENkino presents: “True Politics” video art exhibition + forum
Thank you all for coming to our opening and the screening yesterday! It was really quite wonderful to see so many of you.
Thanks to Stephanie Comilang for presenting her work personally and being such a lovely guest. The film programme was sold out as well, so it was a full evening with a lot of people. Also thanks to Stephanie Cumming and Daniel Hoesl for being our guests and being really nice people.
The exhibition is open today and tomorrow from 6 to 11pm—come ‘round or come ‘round again, it’s a nice place to hang out and watch videos. So take your time… and on top of that, today there’ll also be our disccussion forum about documentary aesthetics, image politics, representation, truth and so on and so on at 7:30pm.
At 9pm we will show Omer Fast’s recent work CONTINUITY. We don’t know how many of you are planning to come, but if it’s as many as yesterday, you better be there early, if you want to get a good seat.
See you tonight,
your GEGENkino crew
