Directors Lounge Screening
Dagie Brundert: Feeling Frühling!

Dagie Brundert, Berlin's most popular artist in small gauge cinema, invites you to welcome the coming springtime. The artist's preferred media are self-developed Super-8 film and pinhole photography. She never fails to impress with her continuous, ongoing work in the small format and she always inspires her audience with cheerful philosophy.

Telemach Wiesinger, a long-term contributor to various Directors Lounge events, is coming from South Germany (Riegel, close to Freiburg) for a special film matinée at Z-Bar. Wiesinger works exclusively with analogue film, which he shoots, treats by means of an animation stand and edits by himself. Additionally, he has been collaborating with other artists on sound and visual concepts. His “Film Poems” dive deep into the beauty of 16mm black and white aesthetic, be it image tonality, contrast, grain, small analogue imperfections and, simplicity. While dwelling on his poetic subjects of bridges, water, trains and travel, he was capable of keeping or even exploring deeper the curious joy for the capabilities of film transforming the seen world into something different.

Berlin filmmaker and photographer Theo Thiesmeier presents his newest film accompanied with a program of shorts.

With “the cinematic moment” Directors Lounge brings together a selection of artists challenging the separation of film and art. Spanning a breadth of backgrounds and artistic styles, the art works are blurring the lines between cinema and visual while sharing the titular „cinematic moment“.

Throughout the Berlin Art Week the Tor218 Artlab gallery will be our base. The gallery is also home of the legendary Melody Nelson Bar, making it a true Lounge space and the perfect meeting point for any art and/or cocktail lover.
