Antenna Festival: 'Malka Germania'

Documentary Film Festival in Sydney

Fri, 11.02.2022
7:00 PM - 20:00 Palace Verona

Antenna Documentary Film Festival returns to Sydney cinemas, and we’re proud to support three films. Mr Bachmann and his Class won the Berlinale’s Silver Bear and Audience Award – a tender films about the inspiring relationship between a German schoolteacher and his teenage class. Garage People explores the lives of everyday people in the Russian Arctic, who find refuge and solace in their garages, while Malka Germania is a work by acclaimed artist Yael Bartana, in which she investigates the longing for collective redemption as a response to an age of anxiety.

Malka Germania – Australian Premiere

The words Malka Germania are Hebrew for “Queen Germania”. The name makes reference to an unusual female designation for the Messiah. Acclaimed artist Yael Bartana places this Messiah into Berlin to portray subconscious elements, grey areas and ambiguities of contemporary German-Jewish experience through the artistic medium. At the same time, it attempts to disrupt a fixed iconography and to deconstruct identities – the past and future implode into an alternative present.
