Endzeit – Time for Fantasies

20:00: film:art 103 at CITY 46, Bremen

Looking for the ultimate happy ending but finding a snow white on drugs and a buried child that pokes its arm out of the grave instead, the films  of the programme come in diverse and humoresque forms from animated cartoons, found footage collage or music clip.  Audiovisual fantasies full of eerie stories and melancholic scenarios bear testinmony of a general fatigue in the face of our performance society.  The promise of bliss of consumerism lost its comforting certainty and leaves behind a void.

The programme accompanies the exhibition FORT. FANTASY ISLAND at Museum Weserburg, Bremen.
Wed. 02.04.2025, 20:00 h at  CITY 46, curated and introduced by Christine Rüffert | Universität Bremen
