Inhaltliche Beschreibung
Oliver Whitehead war schon dieses Jahr auf der Directors Lounge vertreten, und in weiteren Vorführungen des Urban Research Programmes von Klaus W. Eisenlohr. Nun freuen wir uns mit der Präsentation in der Z-Bar und im Rahmen von Sommerscreenings von Directors Lounge einen tieferen Einblick in sein Schaffen präsentieren zu können.
In Whitehead’s later work the subject matter comprises the structures and users of urban settings(...) The visual idiom and the overlaid soundtrack give the works a politically slanted narrative dynamic. The meaning of the films, on the other hand, arises from the combination of cinematography, editing, repetition and thematic combinations. These have an inherent political dimension in the works in that they oppose the solutions typical of commercial cinema.
