Program
Different Perspectives, Different Forms – Feminist Film Aesthetics
Lecture by Christine Lang, 15:00-16:00
During the second wave of the women's movement in West Germany in the 1960s and 1970s, numerous narrative films were made by female directors that dealt with the societal situation and women’s role in society. The films investigated women’s right to self-determination, questions of sexuality and gender relations, and the roles prescribed to women in society. Many rejected the dramaturgy of conventional cinema because it only allowed for a certain type of story. New content and perspectives required new forms. This led to experiments which reflected on and broke with conventional ways of seeing, and which are still ground-breaking for a feminist film aesthetic today.
Natalie Koger: Die Videokonferenz der Tiere (Animal Video Conference)
Presentation of the video work (in progress)
Conversation between Nathalie Koger and Christine Lang, 16:15-17:15
Animal species are going extinct. A group of young people, symbiotically connected to the ani-mals, follow their trail through the storage systems of a zoological collection deep into digital gene databases. After being enraged by the poor outcome of a climate conference, they initiate an online conference to confront those responsible for the disappearance of the animals. “Die Videokonferenz der Tiere (The Animals' Video Conference)” is an ongoing film project by artist Nathalie Koger, cameraman Mathias Windelberg and further collaborators. On this afternoon, Nathalie Koger will share insights into her processes and forms of an open dramaturgy based on this project.
