As part of the programme "Das kann Kino - Ein Programm zum Abschied vom Potsdamer Platz",
Clemens von Wedemeyer will be showing the programme "Kino kann Kinohopping - A Day's Pleasure & Behind the Screen" at Arsenal Kino Berlin on 6 December: What if you could tear down the walls of a multiplex cinema and wander back and forth between the films? Two antagonistic but complementary programmes run in parallel and the audience moves between the screens. Secretly leaving the theatre becomes part of a silent performance. The programme is inspired by two Chaplin films from the Arsenal archive.
Programme Cinema 1:
In the eponymous film by Charlie Chaplin, everything begins as a nice outing that quickly turns into a catastrophe. In this programme, we show films that cause dizziness - through confusing camera pans or the presence of bodies when emotions follow the movements of light. In this maelstrom, the latent and the repressed come to light: the processing of trauma and the search for a new language.
Programme Cinema 2:
The films in this programme emerge in the making of cinema itself. They show what happens behind the screen when the cinema is being prepared and processed. What happens in the gap between authors and viewers? In the "cinema machine", people doubt, reflect and discard. We show who watches and how, and what detours the cinema takes to create an image. It is a school of seeing that reveals the desire for images as well as the need not to be shown.
