Das Filmforum der HBK präsentiert im Sommersemester 2019:

Montag | 08.07.19 | 19:00 h

Uploaded:  2000/2010er-Jahre (The Internet Age)

(WARNING: This program may contain sensitive content.)

Es ist wohl noch zu früh, unter den filmischen Experimenten des neuen Jahrhunderts (Jahrtausends) einzelne Werke als die bleibenden Klassiker auszumachen. Insofern lenken wir mit diesem Programm zunächst nur den Blick auf eine entscheidene, technische Neuerung, die zu einem wesentlichen (Bewußtseins-) Wandel im Umgang mit Bewegtbildern beigetragen hat: das Internet. – Schon früh haben sich Experimentalfilmer*innen diesem Phänomen gewidmet; mit dem Aufkommen der großen Video-Plattformen YouTube (2005) und Vimeo (2007) hat die Entwicklung allerdings eine Dynamik erreicht (z.B. 400 Sunden YouTube-Uploads pro Minute), die den gesellschaftlichen Diskurs unabdingbar macht (z.B. zu Uploadfiltern, Copyright und Censorship). – Mit diesem Programm sollen eher Gedanken (zur Zukunft der Bewegtbilder) angeregt, als eine Filmgeschichte festgeschrieben werden.

Film ist auch nicht mehr das, was er mal sein sollte.
Rhythmus im Zeitalter seiner digitalen Produzierbarkeit.
Film is no longer what it should have been.
Rhythm in the age of its digital producability.

Aufgrund eines Urteils vom Berliner Landgericht darf das Originalvideo Kneecam No.1 nicht mehr gezeigt werden, wenn der Protagonist erkennbar ist. Die Richter begründeten ihre Entscheidung mit dem Überwiegen des Recht auf Schutz der Persönlichkeit und sprachen dem Video den Kunstcharakter ab, da es nur "Motive enthält, die in der Realität gefunden wurden" und diese "nicht besonders kunstgerecht" bearbeitet wurden.

We live in a time where Internet and social media rule our lives. Gays have readily embraced online dating and have gone beyond a casual hook up. For some our online profiles and exposed body feed our narcissistic and exhibitionistic side, while for others is an endless voyeuristic hunt. PIX is a series of flickering images (faceless-selfies) of 2500 gay men building a three minutes animation portraying what is happening in the “marketplace of desire”. Thousands of male bodies in typical male poses are put together creating the mosaic of one body.
A mirror, an exposed torso and the promise for NSA fun have become the synonym to today’s gay behavior with dating. But is that the rule or just a temporary -even necessary- phase into a gay man’s life? Does this gay online behavior help for better communication or does it isolate homosexuals from the “normality” gay men have been trying to achieve all these years? Has the need to connect emotionally been taken over by the need to push on the “load more guys” button?
No three-minutes animation can answer these questions for you. Only you can, starting the next time you pose in front of the mirror.
