FREE CINEMA
We are delighted to invite you to Free Cinema at Annenstrasse 53,. Free Cinema takes place in March 2022 as two lectures by Pavle Levi and Nikolaus Perneczky and screenings of films by Nii-Kwate Owoo, Onyeka Igwe, Assia Djebar and Mohamed Bourouissa.
Free Cinema opens a space to think with experimental film practices. This iteration, Sequence V, investigates cinema as an object of colonial plunder, within ongoing debates on restitution, as a means to explore the architectures of memory and forgetting and the gaps within archives, and as an ideology producing apparatus.
Free Cinema is part of the exhibition at Annenstrasse 53, which includes works by students of the IZK course, Questions from an architect who reads. A students’ inquiry!
