Carte Blanche to Denis Côté
Director: Heinz Emigholz, Germany, 2013-2017, 88 min.
In German with English subtitles.
The first in a four-part series called Streetscapes and consists of three distinct elements: scenes of the German band Kreidler at work on their album ABC in a recording studio in Tbilisi, Georgia, pages of 26 of Emigholz’s densely filled notebooks, and shots of anonymous buildings and streets in Tbilisi.
“In part a response to Godard’s ONE PLUS ONE, which observed the Rolling Stones in the studio, it departs markedly from the brisk yet serene pace of an Emigholz architecture film, achieving a loose rhythmic intricacy that matches both the music that is being created in the wood-paneled studio and the bustle of city life outside.“ – ARTFORUM
“With this first part of the Streetscapes, Heinz Emigholz reboots his “Photography and Beyond” series and opens up a fascinating new chapter.” – Christoph Terhechte, Berlinale
