Petra Graf & James Edmonds are visual artists from Austria and England, currently based in Berlin. As a duo they create site-specific installations, performances, films and sounds. In their collaborative films they explore everyday phenomena with an intuitive eye, drawing formal connections between spaces, environments and objects with a quiet sensitivity which is both meditative and structured.

We are pleased to announce the first edition of the Sessão Babel at the Cinemateca do MAM (Rio de Janeiro). The screening will be this Saturday, April 5, at 6:00 p.m. GMT-3.

The program is entitled “Dinâmicas de Montagem: corte-travessia” and will focus on Elena Duque’s proposals for Doc’s Kingdom 2023: corte-travessia. The following films will be screened:

The program Spring Portraits groups together filmmakers who at times deal loosely with the theme of portraits - either of people, places, atmospheres, and who mostly also have, in some way, a connection to the city of Berlin. Some are long established names, others are making their first film - what is important is that they share some sensibility - and a belief in films power as a medium to transcend mere representation whilst simultaneously capturing something of life's fleeting moments.
