Selection #3

Inner and Outer Space

84 mins

Moving from the privacies and intimacies of inhabited domestic spaces to the landscapes afar, of mountains, glaciers and historical resistances. Sometimes a window frames the whispering landscape. And simultaneously, light voyaging from the outside, filtered through apertures, exposing film and imprinting external realities. Places and spirits in sacred harmony.

A deserted place, there are still ghosts who think, smoke, and are a little bored. And outside, mysterious happenings unfold...

Philipp Fleischmann
AUSTRIAN PAVILION
Austria, 2019, 4’ 00, 35mm, silent, German Premiere.

“Filmed at the eponymous national pavilion at the Giardini della Biennale in Venice, the four-minute short registers architect Josef Hoffman’s unique indoor-outdoor floor plan via three flat, threshold-straddling cameras and a 25-foot tall arch able to capture a near 360 degree view of the space through the manual exposure of an equivalent length strip of 35mm film placed parallel to the structure’s curvature. The result is a sort of vertically suspended survey of the pavilion and its surroundings that takes in a wide swath of the space’s blank walls, windowed ceilings, outdoor foliage, and variegated light sources, accomplished through what appears to the naked eye to be a series of continuous, upwardly curving camera tilts.” (Jordan Cronk)

Fire insubstantial, sacred and enclosed, earthly fragment to the light exposed -The Graveyard by the Sea, Paul Valéry

Charlotte Pryce
OF THIS BEGUILING MEMBRANE
USA, 2020, 4’ 00, 16mm, digital projection, German Premiere.

The story unfolds on the Eve of Midsummer: on the day when the threshold between worlds is porous, and an idle gesture can tempt fate.Inspired by Robert Kirk’s The Secret Commonwealth (1671), this work takes the outward form of a nature film. But observation gives way to illusion and the surface gives way to murky waters strewn with debris of those who have succumbed to its lures (the Lady of Shalott, Ophelia). They remain trapped; menacing reminders of the dangerous seduction of beauty, and anger of the elusive spirits who resent being examined.

Pablo Mazzolo
CENIZA VERDE (GREEN ASH)
Argentina, 2019, 10’ 00, 16mm, silent, digital projection,
Berlin Premiere.

The Hênia/Kâmîare aboriginals inhabited the current territory of the Sierras de Córdoba (Argentina) for at least 1600 years. In 1575, the resistance led by cacique Onga was cornered and defeated by the conquering Spanish troops.After resisting the Spanish in the Charalqueta mountain (named after the God of Joy), hundreds of Hênia-Kâmîare women, children and elders jumped off the top of the Colchoquí mountain in order to avoid being enslaved. The Charalqueta mountain was renamed as Colchiqui (after the God of Fate and Sadness). This was the biggest collective suicide in the territory currently known as Argentina.
