Die Filme arbeiten mit Abstraktionen, in dem Sinne, dass sie keine Story erzählen, oder kein dokumentarisches Anliegen verfolgen. Dennoch sind die Bilder keine ungegenständliche Lichtmalerei. </p> <p><i>"Abstractions" presents a program of experimental film by Berlin and international artists. The films use abstractions of the “real", which means they do not tell a fictive or documentary narration. Neither are they non-figurative film paintings.</i></p> <p><i>Film images on a screen, mostly created by digital or analogue means, are flat surfaces without depth, physically speaking. However, the photographic images do not just evoke symbolic interfaces, but an illusion of texture and tactility. This quality of the surface becomes even more evident, if there is no rigid plot establishing the structure of a storyline, but a fabric created by camera movements, associative montage, fast image sequences, or compositing and alteration. The image sequences generate realms of associations, and the viewer conceives the narration in their cognition of film as an audio-visual totality.</i></p><p><i> As in the examples of the works “Back ande Vor" by Deborah Uhde and John D'Arcy, and “After Synchromy" by Mark Street, abstract or structural cinema may be a point of reference, but not neccesarily for the other works shown in the program. The films create their own fluid reality, connected with open references to reality, culture or politics.</i></p> </body>
