Showcasing Albert Serra

The Catalan filmmaker Albert Serra (*1975) is one of the most important innovators in contemporary cinema. Since his sensational debut HONOR DE CAVALLERIA (2006), his films have received plenty of attention at film festivals, with his HISTÒRIA DE LA MEVA MORT (2013) being awarded the main prize at Locarno. For some years, Serra has also worked on visual arts projects commissioned by various museums. However, despite his international reputation his works are not well known in Germany. Arsenal will be showcasing his feature films, as well as works created for exhibitions, including one short that was part of the monumental "The Three Little Pigs" project commissioned by dOCUMENTA (13). Furthermore, we will also screen a making-of film showing the artist at work. We are very pleased that Albert Serra will be with us at Arsenal. He will participate in Q&As with the public, and on 7.9 Nicholas Wackerbarth will host a debate among filmmakers as part of the "Revolver Live" series.
