Reflections on the public sphere
Beyond the screen

From September to early February 2024, the Goethe-Institut Montreal, in cooperation with the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.), will present a screening programme of 20 video works from n.b.k Video-Forum’s extensive video art collection, curated by Anna Lena Seiser (Head of Collection n.b.k. Video-Forum).

On display are videos by renowned artists from Germany, such as Hito Steyerl, Alicia Kwade and Antje Ehmann, who are no strangers to Quebec - but also video works by international artists, such as Pilvi Takala, Richard Serra and Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries.

Monthly film series now at the Cinémathèque québécoise
ACHTUNG FILM !

Beginning in September 2023, the Cinémathèque québécoise (335 De Maisonneuve Blvd. East, H2X 1K1) will showcase the richness and diversity of contemporary German cinema once a month with feature films, documentaries, bold and entertaining productions by established and emerging directors.

AUTUMN/WINTER 2023: MYTHS & MUSIC
This autumn's program highlights music and myths, as well as legendary operas. The films presented are distinguished by their soundtracks, which give these works a driving force, an individual and atmospheric rhythm, and become, through this conceptual quality, tools for creating images and imaginations.
