Another encounter in Berlin: Hanna Schygulla re-edited VHS-video materials from the 1979 that together with some new short films are shown in the Akademie der Kunste in a small but poetic and touching exhibtion called Traumprotokolle (Dream Protocols). The photo above is from the installation Kino-Traum (Cinema-Dream). Other works from 1979 are Zugabe (Bonus) and Wer bin Ich? (Who am I). New works include Hanna/Hannah (on the memorial site of victims of the Nazi's in Berlin) and Traumtunnel (a poetic reflection on 'waking up to dream'). 

What a melancholy in Brigitte Bardot's performance on a 'bateau -mouche' of this sad love song 'A Day Like Any Other' composed by Gerard Bourgeois and Jean Marc Riviere. The song first appeared on the album Bonnie and Clyde by Brigitte Bardot and Serge Gainsbourg in 1964. The video clip directed by Francois Reichenbach was first shown on the French television program Le Show Bardot in 1968. A surprise encounter of the video in the beautful Hamburger Bahnhof Museum in Berlin. The video can also be watched online. The Hamburger Bahnhof Museum also exhibits Harun Farocki's important Serious Games and Susan Philipsz spatial and mesmerizing part file score, a new experience of Hanns Eisler's music for films. 

Silvia Kolbowski's A Few Howls Again? (2012) resurrects the spirit of Ulrike Meinhof and asks pertinent questions about our own times. Just like her After Hiroshima Mon Amour (2008) did by "resurrecting" Resnais and Duras' masterpiece. Check our the artist's website to see more of her work and read her interesting blog entrees. 

How much I would love to see Marguerite Duras' India Song (1975) again on a big screen. Here is a link to the opening of the film (with English subtitles).

This is what a computer sees at the movies. Artist Ben Grosser built an artificial intelligent viewer and sent it to the movies. Watching 2001 A Space Oddyssey, The Matrix and Inception. Read and see more in Wired. 

Whow! Spectacular images of colored snow. Check out the video of the brothers Falquet. The making-of is great, too!
