Students of Trickfilmklasse Kassel present things that they regret. From Decembre 2nd until March 4th 2018 in Sepulkralmuseum (one of Europe’s few museums for death culture and ancestry worship).
REGRET
Wenn am Ende des Lebens der Fokus auf zu viel Arbeit und zu wenig Familie lag, nicht genug Freude gespürt wurde, falsche Prioritäten gesetzt oder der eigenen Intuition misstraut wurde, dann ist es oftmals der Gedanke der Reue, der im Moment der Erkenntnis an der Seele nagt.
Das Projekt ‘REGRET’ entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Museum für Sepulkralkultur in Kassel, ausgehend von der Konzeptionsentwicklung zum 25-jährigen Jubiläum des Museums. Unter der Leitung von Professorin Martina Bramkamp recherchierten und entwickelten Studierende der Trickfilmklasse der Kunsthochschule Kassel Konzepte, die sich individuell auf das Thema „Dinge, die wir bedauern” beziehen.
Es werden künstlerische Arbeiten als Zeitdokumente vorgestellt, die sich in die Dauerausstellung in Form von Filmen, Bewegtbildarbeiten, Hörspiel und einer Diashow integrieren.
Teilnehmende Künstlerinnen und Künstler: Fiona Dietz, Max Holicki, Felix Kramer, Pascalina Krummenauer, Eeva Ojanperä, Petra Stipetić, Maren Wiese, Chen Yang, Juan Yang
It is the fourth season of the international collaboration between the madagascan film festival Recontres du Film Court (RFC), the Kasseler Dokfest and the Trickfilmklasse Kassel. If one opens the catalogues of 2014/15/16, he or she might have read the introductory paragraphs about the origins of the madagascan cinema, its decline and its new invention about 10 years ago. One will discover information about Laza, the filmmaker and producer who has returned to his homeland, recovering only abandoned echos of the film landscape that he knew and decided to found a film festival. The RFC was designed to provide a platform for a new generation of madagascan filmmakers for future development.

Since then the festival and its program is constantly changing. The RFC developed from a two-day event which screened regional and national films only, to a international event that lasts 10 days, welcomes over 20k visitors in this period, screens several hundred films and receives film entries from the whole continent (Africa).
I want to make a movie – Nathaniela R. Randrianomearisoa – Experimentaldokumentation – Madagaskar – 2016 – 7:27 – Malagasy/UT Englisch
The program starts with a madagascan film that perfectly represents the emotions of a young generation of african filmmakers: “I want to make a movie” by Nathaniela R. Randrianomearisoa is equally surreal as technically flawed. Nonetheless it demonstrates the need to get a camera and tell a story. In the spirit of development the program continues with four productions from various african countries. Each of them was shown in the contest of the RFC. In this sense the meeting with Madagascar is really a meeting with the whole african continent.

For four years my father spends his retirement in the mosque. He distants himself from his family. I almost never encounter him at home. His absense destroys my childhood.

An unaccomplishable dream, a choleric teacher, a lost mother, no shoes, no money, no hope and in the end an unpleasant gaze into the future.

Bereits zum fünften Mal verwandelt sich die Frankfurter Straße während des Galeriefests zur Kunst- und Kulturmeile. Türen und Tore öffnen sich und führen zu unkonventionellen Ausstellungsplätzen und zu den bereits bestehenden Kunst- und Kulturorten, die den Besuchern neue, interessante, vielleicht auch kontroverse Ein- und Ausblicke auf zeitgenössische künstlerische Positionen bieten.
