The British experimental filmmaker Stanley Schtinter presents new film works, as well as releases from his purge.xxx label, for the first time in Cologne.

The evening begins with his film “Dreamachine,” concerning the stroboscopic artwork that can be seen with eyes closed. This is followed by the lecture-performance “Last Movies,” based on the newly released book and film series recently presented at the ICA in London. This work tells an alternative history of the 20th century, according to the films watched just before death by a selection of its luminaries, such as R.W. Fassbinder, Kurt Cobain, and Franz Kafka.

Closing out the night is a special version of “The Lock-In,” a television artwork originally shown as a 96 hour installation at the Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen in 2022. Parallel to the installation, Schtinter, Krzysztof Honowski, and Thomas Rhein will play records from and related to Schtinter’s record label purge.xxx in the Filmhaus bar.

Presented by Filmhaus Cologne in cooperation with Krzysztof Honowski and Thomas Rhein.
