First highlights unveiled

#must-see - Carte blanche to Albert Serra. Between history, myth and contemplation, his films question narrative through hypnotic forms and visual experimentation. Albert Serra received the Golden Leopard at the Locarno Film Festival and won the Special Jury Prize in the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival.

#must-see - Carte blanche to Antoni Muntadas. His multifaceted work – videos, installations, public interventions – addresses social and political issues, challenging perceptions of information. Antoni Muntadas represented Spain at the Venice Biennale and received the Velázquez Prize for his lifetime achievement.

As well as new or recent works by Leopold Emmen, Lisa Freeman, Melanie Manchot, Uriel Orlow, Pink Twins, and Laure Prouvost.

At silent green Kulturquartier over three days, a programme as a multivers

Every day, at silent green Kulturquartier, the public will be able to explore a programme spread across four screening rooms and an exhibition, punctuated by a range of events – carte blanche sessions, special screenings, focuses, performances, panel discussions and talks.

For this new edition, the programme has been conceived as a framework of simultaneous themes and correspondences. Through their movements between the four screening rooms and the exhibition space, spectators enact passages. A thematic cartography will enable the audience to follow lines of correspondence between works presented across distinct spaces or screenings. In this way, an immersive experience takes shape in which each film, each work, can only be fully understood in relation to others, whether within a given screening or transversally: more than a linear programme, this edition offers a space of coexisting worlds, whose exploration calls for an active practice of viewing.
