The 24th of March is the anniversary of the 1976 military putsch in Argentina. This is not a reason to celebrate but it does represent a chance to look back, and remember. The military made tens of thousands people disappeared - had them murdered – during the 1976-1983 dictatorship. Although that dictatorship is history, the crimes committed by the murderers and their helpers have never been legally prosecuted. In memory of Argentina’s military putsch and dictatorship we are showing the documentary film Victoria , a story of a one’s person fate that represents a fate suffered by many. (more…)
Ilona Baltrusch’s DFFB (Germany Academy of Film and Television) 1980 student film “Flug durch die Nacht” (Flight Through the Night”) always harbored a certain mystique for me. Let’s just say that members of my family witnessed the chaos, energy and creativity that went into producing this work.

Watch the inspiration of Amos Poe’s Warhol homage EMPIRE II at Club Transmediale:
“Groupshow presents an 8-hour performance with Andy Warhol’s film ‘Empire’, a marathon event which dissolves into a hybrid of audiovisual installation and concert. Here, improvisation as a process-based art form meets a cinematic study of time unfolding. The single-shot recording of New York’s Empire State Building was filmed on the night of July 25th, 1964, from 20:06 pm to 2:42 am. Warhol slowed down the number of frames per minute, giving the film a length of 8 hours and 6 min. ‘Groupshow with Empire’ is part of the ‘Warhol Series’ commissioned by the Unsound 2008 festival, a series of works giving new musical settings to Warhol films.” (more…)
