Forum Expanded: Closer to the Ground

Exhibition

Moving closer to the ground, getting to the bottom of things, looking and hearing with precision, perceiving what’s happening close by, oft-unnoticed: these are the ideas that inform the 17th edition of Forum Expanded and the selection of films, installations and performances that will be presented as part of the Berlinale at silent green and other venues.

Since the group exhibition in 2021 could not be shown due to the pandemic, the installations already selected will now be presented this year, supplemented by additional works.
