Art Film | Program Details
The Cave of Forgotten Dreams | 2010 | by Werner Herzog | 3D projection | Swiss
Premiere, Running Time 95'
Since the Chauvet Cave's discovery in 1994, access has been extremely restricted due
to concerns that overexposure, even to human breath, could damage the priceless
drawings. Only a small number of researchers have ever seen the art in person.
Legendary film director Werner Herzog gains exclusive permission to film inside the
Chauvet Caves of southern France, capturing the oldest known pictorial creations of
humankind. Putting 3D technology to profound use, he takes us back over 30,000
years in time.
Curated by This Brunner
The screening on June 15 is followed by a conversation with Harald Floss,
Professor and Author, and Film Historian Marcy Goldberg.
The screening on June 18 is followed by a conversation with Jürgen Wertheimer,
Professor and Author, and Film Historian Marcy Goldberg.
Landscapes of/for Theatricality | Curated by Marc Glöde, Running Time 59'
The program addresses questions relating to theatricality in the landscape and the
theatricality of the landscape. The screened works alternate between performances in
landscapes and processes in which landscapes themselves become performative,
raising questions about the relationship between body, image, and space.

developments in CAD demonstrates the diversity and aesthetic scope of the medium.

Dirty Eyes | 2010 | by Lawrence Weiner | Swiss Premiere | Konrad Fischer Galerie,
Mai 36 Galerie, Running Time 49'
Lawrence Weiner's latest film, 'Dirty Eyes,' probes cinematic conditions per se. In
conjunction with the conceptual text pieces that typify his work, cinematic images
transmute into questions about the specific conditions of looking and seeing.
Curated by Marc Glöde
Both screenings are followed by a conversation with Lawrence Weiner and Art
Film curator Marc Glöde.
Hallucinations/Paradise | 2010 | by Sam Samore | European Premiere | Galerie
Gisela Capitain, Galerie Rodolphe Janssen, Running Time 70'
In his most recent film the American artist Sam Samore tells the story of three couples
who have moved from other cities to Shanghai. Oscillating between reality and fiction,
the story is told in a non-linear way and reminds the viewer of fragmented fairy tales or
dream sequences. Samore describes 'Hallucinations/Paradise' as 'a fable about
everyday life, madness, love and Shanghai.'
Curated by Marc Glöde
The screening on Saturday, June 18, is followed by a conversation with Sam
Samore and Art Film curator Marc Glöde.
