ON SCREEN: CASPAR DAVID FRIEDRICH. WANDERER BETWEEN THE WORLDS. ON VIEW AT THE MUSEUM GEORG SCHÄFER

Caspar David Friedrich is considered one of the greatest landscape painters ever. Almost forgotten after his death, his fog-shrouded landscapes and lonely mountains were able to unfold an unimagined effect in the 20th century. The one-hour Arte documentary “Caspar David Friedrich. Wanderer between the Worlds” by Nicola Graef and Frauke Schlieckau tells of the painter’s life in Greifswald and Dresden and searches for traces in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains and on the Baltic Sea. Now the film can be seen in the exhibition “Caspar David Friedrich and the Harbingers of Romanticism” at the Museum Georg Schäfer.

IN PRODUCTION: PARALLEL WORLDS. WHAT IS REALITY? Friday, 13 January 2023, ZDF aspekte

A “truth”, a “reality” has not existed for a long time. If there ever was one. Putin, vaccination deniers, Mark Zuckerberg and his Metaverse – since digitalisation, it’s easier than ever to build new worlds, find approval and confirmation for one’s own worldview and simply block out the rest. But what are the consequences for our lives when reality feels increasingly surreal? When one can no longer agree on and rely on truths, values and norms? What does this mean for togetherness in the global community? And can culture help us to successfully counter this development? Written and directed by Frauke Schlieckau. A Bottega Berlin production for ZDF aspekte. 43 min.

“Would you take up arms for your country if the worst came to the worst?” For Maksym Rokmaniko, architect and founder of the Ukrainian Center for Spacial Technologies, this is no longer a theoretical question. He may have left his country, but he still fights for its liberation – with the tools and methods of architecture and forensics. Together with Eyal Weizman and the renowned research agency Forensic Architecture, he investigated the Russian attack on the TV tower in Kiev. Their goal: to counter Putin’s narrative with the truth. A production by Bottega Berlin Productions for ZDF aspekte/3Sat Kulturzeit.

PRESS: MONOPOL STREAMING TIPS. ART FILMS WORTH WATCHING IN FEBRUARY.

The art magazine Monopol has this to say about “Rembrandts Century: Art, Market and Business”: “For her documentary, the film’s maker Frauke Schlieckau looked over the shoulder of Rembrandt collector Thomas Kaplan, among others, as he opened a box containing the smallest of Rembrandt’s paintings. She zoomed in on paintings that are usually hidden from public view. She also spoke with Baukje Coenen of Sotheby’s about the (metaphorical and literal) complexity of the paintings – and about how restorers bring their secrets to light. The result is a tribute to the Dutch golden boy, sustained by the interviewees’ love of his paintings. It’s a film that paints a picture of the era that produced Rembrandt, contrasts him with other painters of his own time like Jan Vermeer, and illuminates what is still admired about him today.”

ON SCREEN: REMBRANDT, HABIBI!, 3sat Kulturzeit, 06.05.2021, 19.00pm

In her podcast “Rembrandt, habibi,” which is well worth listening to, journalist Amina Aziz examines the Dutch Baroque painter and his contemporaries from a postcolonial perspective. 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. How should, how must we deal with it today? A Bottega Berlin production for 3sat Kulturzeit.
