In November, Forum & Friends VI will present films by Israeli artist Keren Cytter on two evenings at the fsk cinema: two short film programmes and the feature-length film THEWRONGMOVIE (USA, Belgium 2024), which premiered at the Berlinale Forum. Keren Cytter’s films are characterised by a deliberately artificial artistic style, combining narration with deconstruction, linearity with fragmentation, figuration with the absurd, rebellion with fragility, coolness with trips, punk with romance. The highly original plots are complemented by an associative play with form and medium, foils and generic codes, from genre and cultural history to individual auteur signatures – a whirlwind of film that draws us into the present moment as a virtual state of being. To the point of trance. Keren Cytter is a veritable multimedia artist, working in the fields of dance and performance, video and film, poetry and the visual arts, especially drawing, and has written five novels and three children’s books. A selection of her film and video works can now be seen in the programmes curated and moderated by Christiane Büchner and Barbara Wurm, with Keren Cytter as a guest. (Barbara Wurm)

Dreaming of escape from the bleakness of their industrial hometown, two 13-year-olds, Marija and Kristina, form a unique bond at a local modeling school, where the promise of a better life pushes girls to violate their bodies in increasingly extreme ways. „Through the story of young girls navigating toxic landscapes, I wanted to explore the concept of the human body – the body as a project, currency, an object of desire, the body as a source of pain and magic.” Saulė Bliuvaitė

The world seems to be coming to an end, teeming with the vestiges of a human presence. Cat is a solitary animal, but as its home is devastated by a great flood, he finds refuge on a boat populated by various species, and will have to team up with them despite their differences. In the lonesome boat sailing through mystical overflowed landscapes, they navigate the challenges and dangers of adapting to this new world.
Kurdwin Ayub electrified with her widely-lauded feature debut SONNE (2022), depicting a Muslim girl’s experiences growing up in Vienna. She flips the perspective in MOND, following an Austrian woman on a work trip to Jordan. In an inspired casting choice, choreographer and performance artist Florentina Holzinger plays Sarah, a retired mixed martial arts fighter hired as a personal trainer by a wealthy family in Amman. What initially appears like a dream job—swanky hotel, private driver—quickly turns troubling. The teenage sisters she is supposed to train show no interest in the sport. Their palatial home is always deserted, apart from the cleaning staff and several bodyguards, who patrol the house as if it were a prison. The girls aren’t allowed to access the WiFi network and seem shut off from the outside world. When Sarah enquires about the identity of her employers at the hotel bar and mentions their family name, the previously friendly barman abruptly ends the conversation. While keeping the story in a realist register, Ayub borrows tropes from the thriller and horror genres to generate mounting suspense and upend the archetype of the white saviour, thus forcing viewers to confront their own preconceptions.
