In conversation with Wolfgang Schmidt
"I would prefer talking about the film again and being able to ask you questions. Or do you find that impertinent, because I ought to deal with it on my own." (Frieda Grafe in 1997 to Wolfgang Schmidt)
The recollection of his sailor movie NAVY CUT (1992) aroused this wish, and for that reason we are pleased to screen it again. The functional and hierarchically structured battleship architecture of the dffb graduate film was created by means of a Godard-like montage of images shot at locations in Berlin. Beforehand we will screen CANNAE (1986), a "grandiose playground made of industrial trash, self-reflective absurdities, and fragments of West German institutions" (Lukas Foerster), along with HILF MIR, GABRIELLE (1986) by Irina Hoppe, Martin Schlüter and Heino Deckert. Together, they shot films at the dffb in front of their own door that were meant to include the world as a whole. (Oct. 18)
