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

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.”
