The ages eight and up programme takes up the old, but never outdated dream of flying – as a longing for space and freedom. Nele in den Wolken captures a ten-year-old girl’s wish to touch the clouds, creating a striking image of her desire for independence, set against the responsibility of caring for her disabled mother. Léontine takes flight in two anarchic silent films from 1911/12: first, her zealous cleaning frenzy brings down bourgeois order (Léontine Keeps House), then balloons carry her skyward (Léontine Gets Carried Away). And Moving Back Moving Up is a flight through colour, bodies and alliances: a rollercoaster of a music video – empowering, feminist, exuberant and dazzlingly colourful.
