Ute Aurand is a German experimental filmmaker, curator, and lecturer. In her films, she captures personal observations with her 16mm Bolex camera: visits with friends, celebrations, the changing of the seasons, intimate moments. The images come and go at their own pace; some linger, while most flit by in rapid succession, and the sound, too, begins and ends abruptly. Despite this fleeting nature, the films radiate a warmth and tranquility that is almost impossible to resist, allowing us to share in small moments of happiness.

We are very pleased to welcome Ute Aurand to the Filmrauschpalast, to screen her only 16mm feature-length film, and to discuss the film and her work with her afterward!
