Fragile cooperations: Production crises in cinema
Lecture series “Cinema”
The film series takes the diagnosis of a “fragility of normative orders” as an opportunity to examine the crisis nature of such orders in the microcosm of the actors involved in the production of films. This is done using the example of feature films that deal with the failure or miscarriage of such productions in fictional and documentary forms. The production of feature films is visualized as a cooperative project with considerable potential for conflict and a highly uncertain outcome. What happens during the planning and realization of film productions proves to be a theatrum mundi on a small scale, in which the dissonant interplay of forces of the larger world is reflected. The exhibition explores how the susceptibility to crisis of creative processes manifests the polarity of integration and disintegration in social conditions. The presentation of each film will be introduced by a lecture, followed by an opportunity for discussion.
