Art-historically unchallenged is his role model function for conceptual artists such as Rosa Barba, Fiona Tan, Marco Schuler, or Shahryar Nashat, Bas Jan Ader’s biography provokes art history to romantic speculations: During the Second World War, his parents hid Jewish neighbours and refugees who knocked on their door in the hope of finding a hiding place. His father, Bastiaan Jan Ader, was deported and murdered in 1944. This traumatic experience is seen to form the basis of Bas Jan Ader’s desire to process it artistically.

Within one’s writing, speaking, and ideally within one’s daily practical life, to place one’s words, pauses, pitches, and even omissions purposefully and communicatively can by now be called a luxury. Defining one’s own character through one’s own language, making it visible and possibly also accessible to a certain extent, is a luxury. And we recognise each other without wanting to form an elitist attitude, but for the sake of simplicity: I say what I mean, and therefore I also mean what I say.

Emotions run parallel to bodily processes, signify the interpretation of identified and replicated bodily states and are externally recognisable by third parties. The approach has attempted to interpret emotions in purely neuronal and physiological terms. It should be noted, however, that an original bodily process is not necessary to talk about emotions.

A red-heeled leg penetrating through a blood-colored rotating circle ushering a green serpent that slithers spiraling around it with a twisted manner, this is the first sequence that welcomes us to embark and immerse in the erotic and surreal experience of the 18 minutes animated masterpiece by Suzanne Pitt, Asparagus (1979).

How can we link the landscape and the music of cinema? With this in mind, this essay shows the formal relationship between the cinematographic montage of landscape and music based on a film by Artavazd Peleshyán. If the landscape and the human being are a cyclical totality, the work in the field has a dialectical relationship which is both sensory and rhythmic with nature. Thus, geography and climate are presented as a being-environment in an audiovisual sense.

Before they reached the Negro they stopped, because he began to sing. They could see him, naked and mud-caked, sitting on a log, singing. They squatted silently a short distance away, until he finished. He was chanting something in his own language, his face lifted to the rising sun. His voice was clear, full, with a quality wild and sad.
William Faulkner – Red Leaves

Mato Seco em Chamas culminates with a procession of motorcyclists after the fire of the repressive apparatus, represented in the armored police vehicle. An ending that adopts the epic western as a declaration of principles, but in this case, principles of elementary subversion in the face of repression. A remarkable film in the filmography of both filmmakers.

With more than twenty films, between documentaries and fiction, the Austrian filmmaker Ulrich Seidl arrived at the 72nd edition of the Berlinale. Rimini’s premiere is part of the official competition, and although it takes the name of a city that is not indifferent to any movie buff (the birthplace of Federico Fellini), it is a portrait of an autumn character, crossed by a context political and social, as is often the case in much of this filmmaker’s cinema.
