Lecture “Film as Space” at Merz Akademie

Our CREATORS from the Merz Akademie invite you to the lecture “Film as Space – Inside and outside. Body and world. Yesterday, today, tomorrow.” (German/English) on Tuesday, December 17, 2024, 18:15 CET. This is the inaugural lecture by Maria Mohr, who has been Professor of Film and Video at the Merz Akademie since 2023. Maria Mohr studied architecture and experimental media design. Her documentary films are research, journeys and reconstructions of biographies of people for whom this world, as it appears to be, is not enough.
