Filmoteka Muzeum: Across Realities

Filmoteka Muzeum at Tate Modern

Films of Wojciech Bruszewski

place: Starr Auditorium, Tate Modern, London
admission fee: £5, concessions available
 

Organised by Filmoteka Muzeum, Polish Cultural Institute in London and Tate Modern, "Across Realities" is a survey of videos by Wojciech Bruszewski (1947-2009). His films, photographs, installations, etc., which he created since the late 1960s revealed the complexity of interrelations between reality, its perception and human cognition – ‘setting traps for what exists’, as the artist explained.

The programme embraces Bruszewski’s film experiments collected in the set "Ten Works" (1973–1977), activities at the border of image and sound in short films "Sternmusik", "TV-Music", "TV-Hen", "Behaviour Music" (1979–1982), and "Apnoea" (1972), which subverts classic cinematographic narration.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion about Bruszewski, his contemporaries and his exchange with British structural filmmakers.
Participants: David Hall, Fatima Hellberg, Sabina Gill, Łukasz Mojsak
Chaired by: Stuart Comer

Presented as part of Kinoteka, The 11th Polish Film Festival, 7-17th March 2013.
