SWEET POPCORN, BAD DREAMS

JUNE 23, 2023 | 10:30 p.m.

Raise the curtain on bad dreams and bring on the popcorn! We confront ourselves with what keeps us up at night. But what is it exactly that robs us of sleep? Is it the political circumstances, is it personal worries or even the fear of bad dreams and of overhearing the alarm clock?

At Zeise Kino, five Hamburg authors will be reading new and unpublished texts in a late-night performance. This can be scary, funny, comforting - but in any case it will be very entertaining. And late-night entertainment naturally includes: popcorn! That is included in the ticket price.

The Hamburg authors Simone Buchholz, Leonhard Hieronymi, Nora Gantenbrink, Hinnerk Köhn and Anselm Neft will read. And because we are in the cinema, two experimental short films by directors Faezeh Nikoozad and Katharina Duve will also be shown. These short films are curated by the independent Hamburg film platform VETO Film.

A reading for all who enjoy horror, crime, dark humor and the magic of the night. And of course for everyone who loves popcorn and resolves to go to the movies more often.

NOW I IS SOMEONE ELSE

April 11, 2022 | 7:30 pm

Im Programm „Now I is Someone Else“ (Zitat aus „Vanished into thin air“) laden Angela Anzi, Sarah Drath und Maya Connors  drei weitere Künstlerinnen ein, um gemeinsame und verschiedene künstlerische Ansätze in Dialog treten zu lassen. Der Übergang vom Leben zum Tod ist ein Transformationsprozess unter vielen. Ein Mensch wird zum Fisch, ein Organismus könnte viele sein, wer sagt uns was Wunder sind? Sechs filmische Positionen zwischen Performance und Archiv, zwischen Metamorphosen und Chimären.

AND I GAZE IF I WANT TO

July 30, 2021 | 9:30 pm

The screening is part of the interdisciplinary art festival Easterfield, directed by Bettina Steinbrügge
curated by Marlene Denningmann

(1) It starts in an empty house. Empty except for the ghosts of the builder and his daughter. Katharina Swoboda visited the modernist building “Highpoint I” in London and asked: Who wrote history? (2) Who is writing history and who is writing a story? How does a narrative work and who is the narrator? Melanie Jame Wolf examines the fragile connection between what we see and what we are told at three locations in the former GDR in Berlin. (3) What we see is also examined by Wiebke Schwarzhans. In a play with perspective and kadrage she takes us to a photo studio and revisits the place usually producing those glossy images our bodies are asked to submit to. (4) Resisting standardization, we step into the most colorful summer with Julia Fuhr Mann's fashionable protagonists. Repeat after them: My identity is mine! (5) My identity is many! At least in the utopian place created in Katharina Duve's collage-like film – an homage to the ghost, the woman, the actress Suzzanna van Osch. If the impossible were possible, who would you be? (6) Maybe a centaur? In a collaboration with performer Simon (e) Jaikiriuma Paetau, Ann Oren shows us unmistakably: The boundary between spirit, human and animal is as fictional as the modern myth of two fixed sexes.

(1) HIGHPOINT
(2017) 7 min. (2) Forewarned, Forearmed, Foreshadowed, Foretold (2020) 9 min. (3) Le Modèle Optique (2020) 7 min. (4) RIOT NOT DIET (2018) 17 min. (5) Suzzanna van Osch (2020) 11 min. (6) PASSAGE (2020) 13 min.

TELL ME MNEMOSYNE | Lisa Sperling | 55'30 | 2015 | Edition #03

The film as a personal, essayistic research on the lifetime of a Director of Photography. It questions our remembrance and wonders: what remains? Film as conservation: places and their effigies in which past is living on and encounter revives. A portrait without a protagonist, who only comes into existence through images of his past, the places he once visited and through the imagination of the audience who creates a fictional character during the running time of the film.

Middlelength at IKFF: Kabisch and Schneider

June 8th, 2019 | 5pm

While lengthy films are considered to be radical, medium-length films with their similarly non-conforming length are often forgotten in the cinema.

Film and talk, presented bei VETO Film (90 min.)

DEKLINATIONEN (CAN I INHERIT MY DEAD PARENTS' DEBTS?)
Franziska Kabisch • Germany 2016 • 28 min • Color • German or English

The copy of a copy of a copy without original: more than a hundred professors are hanging on the wall. They all look alike. They all look at me. And I’m not sure if they know that I am looking back. A film about norms and forms, about hands and arguments, about different bodies and bodily knowledge.

THE FROGS JUMP BENEATH THE TEMPLE ROOF, NOT ONLY THROUGH THE RAIN
Chinook Schneider • Germany 2016 • 28 min • Color • German • En UT

Confusion is quite normal I was told. I now do not know what I should write about it.

The Shape, the Scent, the Feel of Things

16.04.2019, 19h

Tuesday 16.04.19, 7 pm
Medienwerkstatt Wien
Neubaugasse 40A, A-1070 Wien


Featuring films by Chinook Schneider, Judith Rau, Rosanna Graf, *durbahn, Nicolaas Schmidt. Concept by Angela Anzi and Katja Lell (VETO Film Hamburg)


Q&A session with Angela Anzi and Katja Lell, moderated by Katharina Swoboda, to discuss the films as well as the activities of VETO Film.


How long can I listen to raindrops hitting the roof until my feet actually get wet? Isn’t the rustling of autumn leaves much more intense in films than in real life? What happens to my body in the cinema when I hear you moaning in the shower? “Okay, okay, I’ll try. But I really think you should follow me … next time!”

The program focuses on artistic films that explore a tactile visuality, allowing them to become tangled in contradictions between image and language. It is an attempt to explore sensory experiences in which materialities, liquids, voices, and sounds mix in cinematic assemblages.

Conquering the medium length

While lengthy films are considered to be radical, medium-length films with their similarly non-conforming length are often forgotten in the cinema.

Film and talk (90 minutes)

Moonlight (VETO Film Edition #03)

Michael Steinhauser, Germany 2015, 53 minutes, German, English subtitles

Steinhauser documents how the apartments of the deceased are being cleaned and their last, odour-causing particles are being removed. In addition, he chats with people in retirement homes, unearthing surprisingly honest stories with his obtrusive and brash style of interview. While on the surface, it’s all about death and dying, we casually encounter the last generation of contemporary witnesses of the Third Reich and dive deep into the German psyche.

VETO presents: Strange Night

29.09.2015 7pm

People are strange. Or am I a stranger? A matter of perspective. Seven films explore viewpoints, they search, experiment, alienate and shake the safe house of cultural values, from which the path leads down into the valley of the Un-canny.

VETO film has ventured a look back at the recent history of the unconventional film in Hamburg. Starting from Ayse Polat's "Fremdennacht" (Stranger's Night) from the archives of the Cinematheque Hamburg a film program with experimental work from 1992 to today has emerged.

New Town, D 2013, Jens Franke
Géographie imaginaire, D/TUN 2005, Pauline M’barek
Maid of the Mist, D 2014, Jakob Engel
Fremdennacht, D 1992, Ayse Polat
Strings, D 2010, Annika Kahrs
Eine zukunftsweisende Vergangenheit, D 2012, Arne Bunk, Britta von Heintze
Nightmare on Elmstreet 02:36:21, D 2008, Cordula Ditz

66 min. + discussion

in dubio pro veto

We would like to thank Birthe Mühlhoff for her article on our activities:

"The veto right, as to learn from Wikipedia, allows a minority to stop a process despite the will of a majority. Veto means objection. If VETO Film wants to object against anything, it would be oblivion and inobservance. The platform sees itself as a measure against the clumsiness of the system, experimental films are particularly affected by. "
