Bemerkungen
This semester, Constantin Hartenstein is teaching a seminar together with Prof. Jimmy Robert on the topic „Video Performance“. In the block seminar, the participants develop their own performances which will be presented in an exhibition in Berlin February and April, 2021. The seminar reflects on new forms of performance art and its ability to question social categorisations, discourses and contents beyond heteronormativity.
In their first meeting, the group answered the following task through a performative action online: „Describe your current state of mind in one word. What word is stuck in your head these days the most?“ This is the result.

Short Synopsis:
For the shooting of his new film, Navid travels to the outskirts of the city, to where the easternmost subway in Berlin has its terminus. His plan is simple: he wants to find misogynist men and convince them to wear women's clothes so that they can finally experience misogyny at first hand. But his assistant knows better.

Synopsis:
„Scared and courageous, at home but not feeling safe at the same time...
A woman, a journalist, having served prison time because of her book, wins her freedom back and comes back to life she left behind. A chaotic Istanbul combined with the traumas of dark days past, she spends a day full of fear and paranoia. Is it possible to get used to live in constant fear?“

While @filmfestlocarno is going on and showing an inspiring selection of films, here is a special recommendation from us: O Bobo by José Álvaro Morais, one of the unique masterpieces of Portuguese cinema. Available online on Mubi.
“It is a kaleidoscope of gestures, words, sounds, mise-en-scène, scene transitions and shot junctions. Everything is operatic in The Jester. But there’s nothing grand about it, because it’s a comic opera. The film’s musicality, which is sensual, swinging and ironic, does not conceal the seriousness of the wounds.”
- Miguel Gomes
