Free Cinema takes place in March 2022 as lectures by Pavle Levi and Nikolaus Perneczky and screenings of films by Nii-Kwate Owoo, Onyeka Igwe, Assia Djebar and Mohamed Bourouissa. Free Cinema opens a space to think with experimental film practices. It functions as a tool through which to collectively unlearn given modes of perception, as well as to challenge dominant mediated narratives of history and ideology. This iteration, Sequence V, investigates cinema as an object of colonial plunder, within ongoing debates on restitution, as a means to explore the architectures of memory and forgetting and the gaps within archives, and as an ideology producing apparatus.
Free Cinema is a recurrent programme. The first iteration took place as Films For a Free Palestine in Autumn 2021. It is part of the exhibition at Annenstrasse 53, which includes works by students of the IZK course, Questions from an architect who reads. A students’ inquiry!
