Experimental film programme
Situations of Persistence
Curator: Lāsma Bērtule (LV)
The films in the programme deal with things that won’t leave, or will leave a mark behind themselves, stubbornly insisting on their gentle, indifferent, hypnotic or menacing proximity. From an enigmatic ethnographic documentary to a minimalist monster movie, with different collages and experiments in ways of creating moving images in between, these films invite us to spend some time with a varied crowd of beings.
