Kurzfilmprogramm: Confessional Cinema
(anschl. Online-Q&A mit dem Kurator Aaron Zeghers)
A program of the short “cinematic confessional” is a survey of the most glorious individuals. They are the people I love – the perverts, miscreants and ne’er do wells. These are the stories that society has assigned something to confess about, in the first place. But unlike the christian confessional (see also “broom closet”), or the crowded judicial confessional stand, this is not a punitive confessional. As we will witness on glorious 16mm and video on this fateful eve, the cinematic confessional is a joyous reclaiming of every throbbing inch of our being – our secrets, our trauma, our greatest fears and desires.
