What is the point of this confrontation? To see relations in the most varied ways. And to look at the collisions that undermine the culturally pessimistic discourses on the “the end of painting“ and “the death of cinema“. The point is not to make pretentious references to painting as the guarantor of the cinema’s status as an art form. Nor, from the opposite perspective, is it to give credence to the trend of “capitalist realism,” which, out of fear of losing a connection to the here and now, endlessly reworks the surfaces of technical visual media.
The filmmaker Jürgen Böttcher paints under the pseudonym of Strawalde in order to separate his films DREI VON VIELEN (DDR 1961), FRAU AM KLAVICHORD (DDR 1981), KURZER BESUCH BEI HERRMANN GLÖCKNER (DDR 1985) from the burden of art history. In TOD UND TEUFEL (D 2009), Peter Nestler tells about the problematic ethnographic research carried out by his Nazi-sympathising grandfather in the former colony of „German East Africa“, which might serve as a kind of second epilogue to Erich von Stroheim’s QUEEN KELLY (USA 1928). From a very different perspective, Norman Richter also refers to his grandparents’ generation in his film HEIDELBERG (D 2008), while Angelika Levi is caught in the more direct Oedipal family constellations in MEIN LEBEN TEIL 2 (D 2003). In UNE VISITE AU LOUVRE (F 2004), the filmmaking couple Straub-Huillet have Cézanne speak in the voice of a woman, while the new short film LA MADRE (CH 2012) might suggest that this narrative choice is not merely a question of „Verfremdung“.
