“Sometimes one has, against all the odds, an instinct of the genuine in the most outlandish act of the imagination.” (Anthony Burgess)
An unusual family of languages lies at the centre of the film evening compiled by Christian Mayer: fictional language that are intended to enable experiences in filmic space of what can only be (re)created in the imagination—what has been forgotten, the fantastic and what is hidden deeply inside one. Within the framework of this program the new work Ulam by Christian Mayer will be presented.
