Nye krige, nye billeder

During November you can attend the event series Nye krige, nye billeder, which will try to create new perspectives on war by showing works by the German filmmaker Harun Farocki.

The talks are in Danish, but the films are in English. The films will also be screened from Nov 3 to Dec 3 in Charlottenborg Art Cinema.

Each evening we focus on one of Farocki’s films and discuss a selected theme through conversations between different professionals and researchers. With the event series Nye krige, nye billeder, the focus is on how images of war risk changing our perception of reality.

Harun Farocki’s (1944-2014) unique blend of fiction and documentary and essayistic approach to filmmaking has made him one of documentarism’s most original artists. Characterized by the student protest movement and the environment surrounding New German Cinema. At the end of the 1960s, and with an attention firmly focused on the technological and political developments of the time, over the years he took a position as one of Europe’s most significant and interesting contemporary artists. Today, it is difficult to underestimate Farocki’s influence on European film art, and he has among other things, been celebrated with a retrospective exhibition at Tate Modern (2009) and a collective solo exhibition at MoMa (2011).

Nye krige, nye billeder is created by MA in Philosophy Morten Bønke Pedersen and Art Historian Philip Pihl. The events are supported by the Beckett-Foundation and The Goethe-Institut.
