LECTURE

The Ulm Film Institute
Wednesday 16 November at 7 pm. Virreina LAB

As a result of the Oberhausen Manifesto of 1962, Kluge aims to create a film theory school attached to the legendary Ulm School of Design, which has been experimenting with and developing film language following the principles of auteur cinema. Some of the concepts tested out there have endured throughout his career.

Lecture given by Neus Moyano, the co-curator of the exhibition

Free entry. Limited places

DIALOGUE

The author as producer of the public sphere
Friday 18 November at 7 pm. Virreina LAB

Marcelo Expósito and Valentín Roma will speak about the political and artistic career of Alexander Kluge in the context of Germany from the late 1950s to the 1980s, serving as a hinge between the critical theory of the Frankfurt School, the construction of a public framework of public discourse for the new German cinema and the sustainability of an independent and interactive counter-television.

The talk will also cover Kluge’s involvement in various collectivist projects over the last 50 years in Europe.
