It’s the last day of GEGENkino. Thanks already to everyone that came to our festival or supported us in whatever way.
Here’s a short reminder what will happen on GEGENkino’s finale. (For the sake of continuity this reminder will also be in English, even though our non-German speaking friends might be a bit disadvantaged tonight.)
Marcus Stiglegger (professor at the university of Siegen, an expert in exploitative movies and author of books like “Sadiconazista” or “Nazi Chic & Nazi Trash”) will give a lecture on the topic “Fascism and sexuality in film and popular culture”.
GEGENkino is drawing near. We can’t even fall asleep anymore out of excitement (and last-minute organizational stuff). If you are also insomniac why not spend your nights with reading knowledgeable, lengthy essays on obscure film makers and genres? You can find them over there on Marcus Stiglegger’s blog. He will come to GEGENkino on the […]
Following the lecture there will be a screening of Tinto Brass’ exploitation classic “Salon Kitty” (IT 1976, R: Tinto Brass, D: Helmut Berger, Ingrid Thulin, Teresa Ann Savoy, 102’) – with German dubs though, but from 35mm!
13 April, 8pm – UT Connewitz – € 8/6 (red.) Euro
Jaap Blonk just arrived in Leipzig in order to grace us with his fine poetry. Here’s a few examples to get a slight taste of what Jaap is gonna do later tonight:
Jaap Blonk’s “Der Minister I” (1993)
And here’s a list of what we might expect tonight in concreto:
What will be the Dr Voxoid’s next move? Those who know him might expect a knight’s jump…but then they know he won’t do the expected. How about a king’s stately step this time? Or the bishop’s stealthy sneak-through?
Next time it might be:
- sound poetry (his own works and probably an occasional ‘classic’ from this tradition)
- songs in invented languages, for instance in “Onderlands” (the language of the Underlands, a synonym for Netherlands), in “GeenKrimpian” or in his personal English, “IngleTwist”
- phonetic processes, acoustic as well as electronic snippets of lecturing about odd topics, for instance “The User Manual”
- some Solos for Voice by John Cage
- soundscapes
- quotations from Final Letters
- improvisations and more…
- in the right mood & circumstances, he may even project some visuals.

12 April, 9pm – Luru-Kino in der Spinnerei – € 8/6 (red.)
Yupp, he’s coming for real! Jozef van Wissem will do a live score for Luis Buñuel’s surrealist classic “L’Âge d’Or” tonight at Luru-Kino. Thanks to Bundeskunsthalle we can even screen “L’Âge d’Or” from 35mm film roll.
Jozef van Wissem vertont „L’Âge d’Or“
Van Wissems Instrument ist gleichzeitig altertümlich wie ungewöhnlich: die 24-saitige Laute. Sein minimalistisches Spiel des barocken Geräts gründet auf repetitiven Kompositionstechniken und zyklischen Melodien, Überlagerungen und Verfremdungen. Das Resultat wirkt merkwürdig aus der Zeit gefallen, zwischen den Genres pendelnd: nicht Barock und nicht Industrial, weder Neue Musik noch Improvisation. Und doch alles zusammen. Enorm deep! […]
But why all this promo stuff. You’re all gonna come anyway tonight, right?

11 April, 9pm – LuRu-Kino in der Spinnerei
Make sure to be there early in order to secure your ticket!
Ki-duk Kim (also known as Kim Ki-Duk) did a movie last year. Almost no cinema was screening it – at least not around here. But GEGENkino is taking care!
Tonight!
10 April, 9pm – LuRu-Kino in der Spinnerei – € 6/5 (red.)
Screening: Moebius, die Lust, das Messer
KR 2013, D: Kim Ki-duk, A: Cho Jae-hyun, Seo Young-ju, Lee Eun-woo, 90’, no dialogue, BluRay
Yes yes, we know it’s quite a lot to ask of you to go to the movies ten days in a row. But hey, it might be your only chance to see Kim Ki-Duk’s most recent flick “Moebius” (in Germany for whatever reason also known as “Moebius, die Lust, das Messer”) on the big screen, […]
Btw, today is the last day that you can buy presale tickets for Jozef van Wissem’s live score performance tomorrow. There will only be a few tickets left at the box office. You know what to do…
Dear people, thank whoever (maybe not him) that our glue is persistent.. *hehe*
And thank us that we did not mix broken neon tubes in our glue (good old anti-Nazi strategy to keep posters hanging).. *hehe* ..anyway, the fact is: you won’t get the posters of the walls – what you can do instead: buy some of the still available, lovely screen prints! (Handsigned by Ricaletto.) They will be available at our screenings on Friday and Saturday at Luru-Kino, and Sunday at UT Connewitz.
