  • Problematizar a Realidade Programa 7 Press Eng
    Press-release I 18.02.2019 Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Die Sehnsucht der Veronika Voss (1982) PROGRAMME 7 27.03.2019 | 18h30 Goethe-Institut, Auditorium, Campo Mártires da Pátria 37, 1169-016 Lisbon, Portugal Die Sehnsucht der Veronika Voss (Veronika Voss, 1982, 104 Min.) by Rainer Werner Fassbinder Discussion: Judith Barry, Giovanbattista Tusa Artworks, especially those that comprise documentary material, can offer a particularly challenging appeal to our thoughts about reality. While their indexical link to the reality they address grants images and sounds a specific credibility, the position of the artist, her aesthetic, thematic and political choices and self-reflexive stance, may generate a critical assessment of the very constitution of reality. At such a point, art meets philosophy. In order to reflect on the relationship between the factual world and its subjective appropriation, questioning hegemonic claims to objectivity and problematising the inherent contradictions of society are inherently philosophical issues. Problematising reality – Encounters between art, cinema and philosophy is a series of screenings and discussions, in a partnership between IFILNOVA (CineLab) / FCSH / UNL, Goethe-Institut and Maumaus / Lumiar Cité and in collaboration with Apordoc / Doc’s Kingdom. These encounters between artists and researchers of international renown focus on the very moments where art, cinema and philosophy enter into a productive dialogue. The seventh and last edition of this series of conversations and screenings brings together the New York-based artist Judith Barry and the philosopher Giovanbattista Tusa, who will discuss Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s feature film Veronika Voss (Die Sehnsucht der Veronika Voss, 1982), the third episode of Fassbinder’s trilogy on Post-War West Germany, following after The Marriage of Maria Braun (1978) and Lola (1981).

  • Newsletter 2005 - 2009
    THE FASSBINDER FOUNDATION Rainer Werner Fassbinder Foundation Newsletter 2005 - 2009 Liebe Freunde, Partner, Begleiter und Unterstützer der RWFF und der FF Inc., nachdem wir seit Dezember 2004 unsere dreisprachige Website mit aktuellen Berichten ins Netz gestellt haben, erschien uns ein Newsletter-Versand nicht mehr nötig. Aber ein regelmäßiger Überblick über unsere Aktivitäten fehlte manchem Fassbinder-Fan, so dass wir uns entschlossen haben, die Newsletter-Tradition wieder aufzunehmen. Trotzdem wollen wir Sie erneut ermuntern, unsere aktuellen Nachrichten weiterhin unter www.fassbinderfoundation.de zu verfolgen. Fassbinder-Filme: Reborn Die Schwerpunkte unserer Arbeit der Werkverbreitung waren in den vergangenen Jahren vor allem auf die Wiederaufführung von Fassbinder-Filmen im Kino sowie die Herstellung hochwertiger DVD-Ausgaben gelegt. Im Bereich des Repertoire-Abspiels sind die Strukturen in Deutschland allerdings eng gesteckt und erreichen zumeist nur bei Retrospektiven in Gedenkjahren eine größere Aufmerksamkeit. Dagegen hat sich die Präsenz des Filmwerkes auf dem deutschsprachigen DVD- Markt von Jahr zu Jahr verstärkt, insbesondere durch die Zusammenarbeit mit unserem DVD-Partner ARTHAUS/Kinowelt, mit dem wir seit 2001 kooperieren. Diese führte dazu, dass inzwischen achtundzwanzig Fassbinder-Titel unter dem ARTHAUS-Label verfügbar sind. Zusätzliche Sonderausgaben erneuerten die Präsenz wie zum Beispiel die BRD-Trilogie (2005) im Schuber mit den Klassikern Die Ehe der Maria Braun, Lola und Die Sehnsucht der Veronika Voss oder eine Sonderausgabe zum 25. RWF-Todestag (2007) mit zehn DVDs inklusive erweiterten Bonusmaterials. Die Sonderausgabe Deutscher Herbst (2008), in der RWF mit seinem Beitrag zu dem Episodenfilm Deutschland im Herbst von 1977 und Die Dritte Generation von 1978 neben Filmen von Volker Schlöndorff, Margarethe von Trotta, Alexander Kluge und Reinhard Hauff vertreten ist, intensivierte die Vermittlung des Fassbinder-Werkes.

Montreal Architectural Review Presenting the Extremely Difficult Past: Günther Domenig’s Documentation Center of the National Socialist Party Rally Grounds, Nuremberg, Germany Rumiko Handa University of Nebraska Abstract Buildings have a way of bringing the past into the present. This is important because experiences of the past often constitute impactful moments in everyday lives and allow a contemplation of existential meaning. It is an aspect often neglected by architectural professionals and critics because it lies outside the Vitruvian triad of aesthetic, functional, and structural virtues. It goes without saying that a building’s presentation of the past is ontological. In other words, individual perceptions of a building are subjective, and the building’s objective traits or histories do not guarantee that it will turn into a place of memory for everybody.

  • “Rainer Werner Fassbinder: a Retrospective”
    PRESS RELEASE WHAT: Werner Fassbinder Retrospective WHEN: March 10 to April 22, 2018 WHERE: Ili Likha Artists Village in Baguio and Cinematheque Centre Manila “Rainer Werner Fassbinder: A Retrospective” IN PARTNERSHIP WITH: This summer, the Goethe-Institut Philippinen presents some of the best works of the well-acclaimed German filmmaker, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, in a retrospective exhibition that's free for all. Eleven Fassbinder films including a documentary about him will be screened for free every weekends from March 10 to April 1 at the Ili Likha Artists Village in Baguio and April 7 to April 22 at the Cinematheque Centre Manila. On the opening day at Ili Likha Artists Village this March 10, a small reception will be held at 4pm before the first screening. Rainer Werner Fassbinder (1945–82) is one of the most polarizing and influential figures of the New German Cinema. He is famously known for his short-lived yet exceptional and remarkable career that lasted for nearly 16 years until his death in 1982. Fassbinder's artistic productivity resulted in a legacy of 39 films, 6 TV movies, 3 shorts, 4 video productions, 24 stage plays, and 4 radio plays. On top of that, he was also an actor, dramatist, cameraman, composer, designer, editor, producer, and theatre manager for some of his films and productions, yet he managed to combine all of it into a comprehensive, always expanding, retrospective, and progressive unity. Fassbinder's films encompasses everything from intense social melodramas, Hollywood inspired female-driven tearjerkers, epic period pieces, to dystopic science fiction as well.

Introduction Electric Junk: Krautrock’s Identity Crisis If there is any musical subculture to which this modern age of online music consumption has been particularly kind, it is certainly the obscure, groundbreaking, and oft misunderstood German pop music phenomenon known as “krautrock”. That krautrock’s appeal to new generations of musicians and fans both in Germany and abroad continues to grow with each passing year is a testament to the implicitly iconoclastic nature of the style; krautrock still sounds odd, eccentric, and even confrontational approximately twenty-five years after the movement is generally considered to have ended.1 In fact, it is difficult nowadays to even page through a recent issue of major periodicals like Rolling Stone or Spin without chancing upon some kind of passing reference to the genre.

The full depth and scope of this astonishing career—unparalleled in postwar world cinema—will be on display for the first time in the United States beginning January 23, 1997, when The Museum of Modern Art presents Rainer Werner Fassbinder, a complete retrospective of the director's work. Using a potent mix of impassioned melodrama and biting satire, working independently with a loyal, likeminded cast and crew, and wedding intense personal and political issues, Fassbinder produced an entirely original oeuvre that remains as imaginative and incisive today as when he was alive. Practically hurled in the face of bourgeois culture, these films include acknowledged treasures such as The Marriage of Maria Braun -more- 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019-5498 Tel: 212-708-9400 Fax: 212-708-9889 2 (1978), Lola (1981), Fox and His Friends (1974), Veronika Voss (1981), Effi Briest (1972/74), The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant (1972), Katzelmacher (1969), In a Year of 13 Moons (1978), Ali: Fear Eats the Soul (1973), and Lili Marleen (1980).

    Last chance! ANTI closes on Sunday, December 9 The 6th Athens Biennale is already on its final week, ending on Sunday, 9th of December. Titled ANTI, AB6 maps the contemporary political, social and cultural momentum while gazing to the future. Held at four exhibition venues in the center of Athens, the 6th Athens Biennale presents over 100 works by 100 international and Greek artists and collectives, highlighting the different aspects of ANTI. Walking through the artistic devices composing the exhibition, you will experience the enjoyment and discomfort embodied by opposition, and you will wonder about what might motivate reactionary fantasies and dwell on progressive pleasures. ANTI, during these last five weeks, has perceived by its visitors, both international and locals, as a direct, intense and controversial experience, a not-to-be- missed art exhibition. Counting down to the closure of AB6, we invite you to join us this week at this "messy" show and enjoy your visit to the fullest. Walk through the exhibition here.
