Film proposal by Betül Küpeli, presentation and discussion afterwards REMAKE, REMIX, RIP-OFF, a.k.a. Motör (Turkish: Motör: Kopya Kültürü ve Popüler Türk Sinemasi) Directed by Cem Kaya, Doc. / 2014 / 96 min. Remake, Remix, Rip-Off does for Turkish popular cinema what Machete Maiden’s Unleashed! (2010) did for its Philippines equivalent. In other words it celebrates a national cinema that, over a specific time period, produced a mind-bogglingly large number of insane cheap movies. The period most specifically featured covers the mid 60’s to the mid 80’s, which in all honesty remains the golden age of the B-movie generally around the world. The name of this film comes from the fact that Turkey is a country that does not recognize international copyright laws and this consequently led to film-makers producing movies in a, shall we say, ‘unique’ manner. There were Turkish versions of, amongst others, Star Wars, Superman, The Wizard of Oz, Rambo, Rocky, Star Trek and E.T. Betül Küpeli is a student mentor WS 2016.

Artist talk by Grethell Rasúa (Havana, Cuba) Title: Beyond of the metaphor. The utility sense in six artworks from Cuba

“Generally I work with the reformulation of judgments of aesthetic, ethical and economic values: with what we understand culturally as good or bad, right or not, the way we perceive the beauty or ugliness of things. I use various means of expression and documentation: performance, objects, jewelry, photography, video, environment, site specific, drawings and installations, as evidence of human activity on the context in which I live.” - Grethell Rasúa

She is a visual artist who has done curatorial projects and works currently as a professor at the National Academy of Fine Arts, Havana.

Screening and talk afterwards:

The Land Between, a film by David Fedele Australia 2014, documentary, 78 minutes. English subtitles.

The Land Between offers an intimate insight into the hidden and desperate lives of Sub-Saharan African migrants living in the mountains of northern Morocco. For most, their dream is to enter Europe by jumping a highly-militarised barrier into Melilla, a Spanish enclave on the African continent. With unique and unprecedented access, this film documents the everyday life of these migrants trapped in limbo, as well as the extreme violence and constant mistreatment they face from both the Moroccan and Spanish authorities. It also explores many universal questions, including how and why people are prepared to risk everything, including their life, to leave their country, their family and friends, in search of a new and better life.

Film proposed by Martin Rudlet, Erasmus plus program exchange at the Academy. After the screening debate moderated by Martin Rudlet.

Guest lecture by Khaled Ramadan (Lebanon)

Title: The Panache of Artivism within the Imperial Cultural Narrative of the Middle East

Khaled Ramadan
 is Artivist, Filmmaker, Curator and Art Writer. Currently, director of Bait Muzna Center for Art Film, Oman. Ramadan’s professional areas of expertise are the history of art and visual culture, investigative aesthetics, constructed media, and documentary filmmaking. For the past decade his work has navigated the fields of art research, theory and practice, with a particular emphasis on the topic of informational aesthetics. Far from the traditional methodology of filmmaking, Ramadan’s specialized approach is that of a transformative archivist; his work presents an unexpected arrangement and exploration of visual and geographical mapmaking that is committed to bringing about social equality, representation, and memory in relation to history. Ramadan’s film practice has been most inspired by Lev Manovich’s book The Language of New Media. Manovich’s theories indicate how the re-conceptualization of filmmaking can function as a tool to understand the power relations existing between film critic, media, contemporary art, and visual culture. Ramadan’s scope is to record the invisible, to span neglected history in a non-journalistic fashion, as an archivist or révélateur. Ramadan participated in numerous projects, among others in Be-diversity, MUSE di Trento, Italy 2015; A Room of His Own, The Artsonje Center Seoul 2014; Overflow, The Politics of Water, Kumho Museum of Art, Seoul 2014; The Maldives Pavilion at the 55th Venice Biennale 2013; Manifesta 8, Spain; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid; KW Berlin, Germany; frei_raum Q21 exhibition space, Vienna 2016. In 2009 Al-Jazeera TV produced a documentary about Ramadan’s work and activities. Khaled Ramadan: Lebanon Lecture organized by Marina Grzinic, Post Conceptual Study Program (IBK) and Walter Seidl, curator, Vienna.

Ramadan will make a final point on the research travel by PCAP in Spain in 2016.
