Living Archive: films are alive, but film prints grow old. In our collection too, vinegar syndrome, red tinges, and prints that have shrunk over time are all to be found. In a new series, we want to present the symptoms of aging based on a series of examples and discuss with audiences what the future of each film might look like as part of the archive. We are starting with the projection of a print that is suffering from vinegar syndrome. KRYLJA(Wings) by Larissa Shepitko (USSR 1966) tells the story of Nadezhda, who was a famous fighter pilot during the War and is now a headmistresses. She is held in high regard by society and her picture hangs in the local museum. Yet she enters into conflict with the younger generations again and again. The series takes place monthly and will alternate with archive presentations from the Harun Farocki Institute from 2017 onwards. (stss) (24.10.)
