PLANETARIUM

D: Rebecca Zlotowski, C: Natalie Portman, Lily-Rose Depp, Emmanuel Salinger, Amira Casar, DP: Georges Lechaptois, FR/BE 2016, 106 min., French-Englisch OmU – DP Paris in the late 30s — catastrophe looming over Europe. A Jewish film producer seeking to reinvigorate the French film industry finds inspiration in the presence of young spiritualists (Natalie Portman and Lily-Rose Depp). A search for aesthetic solutions or how to face political collapse through the magical lens of photography.

FUDDY DUDDY

D: Siegfried A. Fruhauf, AT 2016, 5 min., without dialogue – DP A formal romp through the limits of visual representation letting lines, surfaces and grids melt into a sensual dance. Beginning with heartbeats only to culminate into a rush of blood, the certainty of seeing is unsettled and made irrelevant, in the end.

After the screenings:
