We now perceive the beams of light shooting through the air as space. They are used to project our analog films, consisting of long transparent strips, onto the next wall. Hair salons with broken mirrors. Trees appear in winter. Stories and curlers wander into the night.
A short analog film program shows longing created through movement. Film as space. If we think all the lines through… Architecture
The program:
The analog films projected live here are rarely shown. Some of the analog films are presented digitally due to material constraints.
Screenings start at 8 p.m.
Location: Saalbühne as a separate room
Total duration: 48 minutes, plus two discussions and short breaks for film changes

“What kind of times are these, when
a conversation about trees is almost a crime.
Because it implies silence about so many misdeeds!”

Franks International
“Franks International” is an abandoned hair salon in Leeds
that looks mysterious and beautiful when viewed through its front windows.
The life story of the salon’s owner, Frank, takes us
in unexpected directions through references to space and time.
