desired! – film lust & queer: Short Film Programme

Film / Violence / Memory

Film captures moments in time and preserves them after they have passed. But what exactly can the medium capture, and what is beyond the technical scope of recording, a process that promises to preserve? Traumas are based on experiences that are so painful they are not consciously recalled – even though they remain inscribed in our body. Instead, they are forced into our subconscious. So how does this relate to the medium of film? The works shown in this short-film programme look at the possibilities and limitations of film addressing experiences of past violence. In what way is film capable of visualisation? What remains hidden in this visibility? These are personal films that explore cinematographic links between trauma and film (history).
