WORLD PREMIERE: FRANS HALS. PAINTER OF LAUGHTER. ARTE SUMMER OPEN AIR CINEMA AT KULTURFORUM AT POTSDAMER PLATZ BERLIN. Monday, July 8, 21.45

Alongside Rembrandt and Vermeer, Frans Hals is one of the key figures of 17th century Dutch art. But unlike his contemporaries, who tended to paint gloomy or pensive pictures, the Haarlem artist was entirely devoted to joy. Frans Hals painted people who could barely conceal their lust for life – at a time when it was frowned upon to show teeth. The film explores the role that laughter plays in the art of Frans Hals and in our lives today.  GET YOUR TICKETS HERE

IN PRODUCTION: REMBRANDTS HEIRS

Rembrandt has strongly influenced art over centuries. Not only through his masterpieces but also through his work as a teacher. The knowledge he taught his students was adopted by them. They incorporated it into their own art and passed it on to those who came after them. In this way, the universal messages inscribed in his paintings have also been passed on. Art that directly or indirectly bears Rembrandt‘s influence can therefore be found in every epoch of art history – until today. But why was Rembrandt such a great teacher for human kind? What makes the old master still so relevant in the 21st century? And what can we still learn from him today? Together with the world‘s largest collector of Rembrandt and his pupils, Thomas Kaplan, contemporary artists and art experts, the film goes on the trail of Rembrandt – from Leiden to Amsterdam, to London, Paris and New York – and tells the story of the great master and those who followed him. Script & Direction: Frauke Schlieckau. A Bottega Berlin Production. In cooperation with The Leiden Collection.

Together with her, we visit the exhibition “Rembrandt’s Orient” to look at the art of the beloved painter and his contemporaries with irreverence, rather than reverence, for a change. For Rembrandt and his colleagues, artists at the center of a brutally expanding colonial regime, created a strange, fictional image of the Orient with their paintings.

In Production: DEATH OF THE GENIUS? AI AND THE FUTURE OF ART, 3Sat, 37 minutes

Art that deals with new technologies, that works with Artificial Intelligence and robotics, is in trend. But what some people consider revolutionary, others consider gimmickry, kitschy and dangerous. And the increasing use of new technologies in culture threatens to abolish the artist. But how much robotics can art take? After all, art is an expression of human experience and an attempt to negotiate the human condition. So can a machine really fit into the complex process of creating a work of art as an independent actor?
