The artistic career of this experimental film-maker, who grew up in Duisburg and died in 2023, began in Cologne, the city whose subculture she shaped as co-founder of <em>X-SCREEN<\/em>. We are honouring her artistic development: from her early beginnings with structural film-making, through her own personal cinematic emancipation, and back to the beginnings, the archetypal images of a childhood during the Second World War: the search for images of destruction and destroyed images. Image immersion \u2013 this means a sensual, spatial and pictorial film experience that was only possible in this way by radically rethinking the technical and artistic possibilities of analogue film.<\/p>\n<p>The structural film of the 1970s, with its formalist aspirations, strict ideology and linear modernist historiography, represented a rigid intellectual corset that allowed for sophisticated mental acrobatics but was nevertheless deeply patriarchal. Birgit and Wilhelm\u2019s departure from structural film in 1978, their performances, the films <strong>Love Stinks<\/strong> and <strong>Verbotene Bilder<\/strong>, and finally Birgit\u2019s own films <strong>Die Unheimlichen Frauen<\/strong> and <strong>Baby, I Will Make you Sweat<\/strong> are blows for freedom: they are painful and powerful and defy any kind of categorisation. Her war films of the 2000s represent attempts to come to terms with her early childhood traumas. Perhaps it is these very special interweavings of lifelines, psychological junctures and artistic transmutations that also make Birgit Hein a universal figure of the German post-war generation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Followed by a conversation between Birgit Hein Maxa Zoller, Artistic Director IFFF Dortmund+K\u00f6ln and Prof. Matthias M\u00fcller, filmmaker<\/p>\n<p>Matthias M\u00fcller is one of the most influential experimental filmmakers and film artists of his generation. M\u00fcller&#8217;s films and installations are represented at international exhibitions and festivals. He studied with Birgit Hein at the Braunschweig University of Fine Arts.<\/p>\n<p>Maxa Zoller first met Birgit Hein in 2002 as part of her research into the exhibition history of experimental film. When becoming director at IFFF Dortmund+K\u00f6ln she had planned an event with and about Birgit Hein, which was delayed by the pandemic. Later, this was no longer possible due t Birgit Hein&#8217;s death on February 23, 2023.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In cooperation with <em>K\u00f6ln im Film<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Follow-up event on 12 June 2024 in cooperation with the ifs at <em>Filmforum NRW<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":31424,"template":"","movie_cat":[752],"event_cat":[],"event_type":[128],"festival":[727],"class_list":["post-31478","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","movie_cat-specials-en-2024","event_type-film-en","festival-2024-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
