Chicago – Elegiac Realism
The bronze lions in front of the well-known late neo-classicist museum building in Chicago could be the symbol for relations between humans and animals in cities. Where cityscapes have become second nature, we do not search for lost rural relations to nature, or landscapes of wilderness. The longing for animals and for open urban space still carries desires that act as a friction to urban realities and create utopian ideas in the sense of W. Benjamin.
This program presents urban American reflections. In Chicago, a new generation of filmmakers has been coming up, who make use of documentary approaches together with traditions from art and film avant-garde. A generation who projects their own views and who asks questions instead of having answers already ready.
This is a special program at Directors Lounge February 8—18, 2007.
