Arsenal on Location – Closing Event

Following a year without a cinema that has been rich in impressions nonetheless, we are ending the Arsenal on Location with a closing event.

Arsenal is reinventing itself. From April onwards, the cinema, festival, distributor, archive and campus will all be at the same place. Arsenal on Location has already laid the groundwork for this.

“Before that, we are presenting one last event with a partner institution that hasn’t just hosted us for this last year, but will continue to do so for at least the next 20: silent green.”
 

Terrarium experiment
7 PM

Seven years ago, two 16mm short films that Shelly Silver shot to this end with stakeholders from her immediate cultural context were placed in a terrarium in the MARS restaurant as part of the silent green Film Feld Forschung. The idea was to explore how warmth and humidity would slowly destroy the film material – and perhaps create something new in the process.

The result will be presented on the big screen and compared with prints of the same films that were properly stored.

Films:
Turn, Shelly Silver (Germany, 2018, 16 mm, silent, 4 min.)
This Film, Shelly Silver (USA, 2018, 16 mm, without dialogue, 4 min.)

Line Describing a Cone
8 PM

Travelers and hosts will be talking about what they experienced in individual places as part of Arsenal on Location. 

With Line Describing a Cone (Anthony McCall, USA, 1973, 16 mm, 31 min.), we are showing a film that makes the cinema space tangible and is thus representative of all the cinemas of this world.
