Artist Film & Video 2014 (Running time 84')

Five films between Black Box and White Cube that confront the past
and ask in diverse ways “What remains?” Whilst Lior Shamriz both literally and figuratively
investigates a bygone picture of Berlin, Josef Dabernig shows us in brilliantly
composed black-and-white images people sitting on the banks of an Italian river
who simply appropriate the landscape – regardless of its inhospitality. La estancia,
winner of this year’s Grand Prize of the City of Oberhausen, depicts a massacre
sparked by the battle for land rights in Paraguay, reconstructed as a series of
subtle tableaux. The directors in this film programme employ a range of very
unusual techniques and aesthetics, and some of their works have been shown to
great acclaim in art exhibitions. Taken together, these films, some of them
award-winning, give viewers an insight into the current state
of international artist films.
