We've been looking forward to it with you: NW's brand new cinema. This means new comfortable seats, but also a new, old-fashioned 35mm projector to show classics on analogue film. During the opening weekend Club Ritual will kick off our revamped film operation. Our first 'film focus' engages with the works on display and the premise of the exhibition Ritual in Transfigured Time. Four programmes in one day, curated by the international research and curatorial collective Counter-Encounters (Onyeka Igwe, Laura Huertas Millan and Rachael Rakes). There will also be a lecture, screening and conversation with Brazilian artist Ana Pi… Alexis Blake, Conditions of an Ideal, British Museum, Block Universe, 2016, Arronphoto Among the bleached marble sculptures of the Parthenon friezes in the British Museum, Alexis Blake examines the historical white Eurocentric and gender imperialistic representation of the idealized woman’s body. Conditions of an Ideal (2016) is a choreography in which structured improvisations navigate between democratic group movements and individual postures, between moments of tension and balance. From 05.4.2024 Stop Making Sense, Jonathan Demme dance! Films that revolve around dance, celebration and ritual. April 24 marks exactly 40 years since the release of the legendary concert film Stop Making Sense. Featuring some of their best-loved hits and innovative stage set-ups, this film is a tribute to the Talking Heads' timeless craftsmanship and Demme's visionary direction. It is neither the only nor the last film in this focus programme. From 29.3.2024 Werner Herzog, Radical Dreamer Herzog An exploration of Werner Herzog's most striking and influential films We dive deep into his unique style and themes, showing Grizzly Man analogue thanks to our new 35 mm projector.

From 05.4.2024 Here, Bas Devos, 2022 from here A curated collection of contemporary and classic Belgian film.

From 26.3.2024 The Zone of Interest, Jonathan Glazer Arthouse cinema Every Tuesday at 20:00 We continue our well appreciated tradition: a fine selection of arthouse films every Tuesday night. This month, we show the super relevant Oscar winner The Zone of Interest by Jonathan Glazer, and gems like Perfect Days by Wim Wenders and Past Lives by Celine Song…
In the morning light of an autumn day in 2022, Edith Dekyndt filmed a young woman lying down near the Monument to the Partisan Woman, which sits in the waters of the Venice lagoon along the promenade leading to the Biennale Gardens. She holds a white cloth in her hand with which she wipes, cares for, cleans, repairs, caresses, and consoles the bronze statue depicting this woman from another time who is partially immersed in the lagoon, her hands tied, presumably close to her end, a fate suffered by so many partisan women during WWII, especially in Venice. In this film presented in the Foyer of the Teatrino at Palazzo Grassi, Edith Dekyndt draws the viewer’s attention to our ability to preserve memories, with some measure of dread over their recurrence. The bronze statue, made in 1969 by the sculptor Augusto Murer, lies on a structure and a support created by Carlo Scarpa that sits in the water. Song to the Siren forms part of a series of actions in which the same gesture is enacted at several public historical monuments to echo contemporary situations. The titles are always those of songs whose lyrics provide an open, timeless resonance. In this video, the title comes from Song to the Siren (1970) by Larry Beckett and Tim Buckley, which has been recorded by many artists, from This Mortal Coil to Robert Plant. |
