	WHITECHAPEL ART GALLERY

	

	GERHARD RICHTER - ATLAS: FILM PROGRAMME

	Accompanying Whitechapel's Gerhard Richter - Atlas exhibition, this film

	programme presents shifting perspectives on the function of the non-fiction

	image and its intersection with German history. From the origins of World

	War II to military technology and theories of perception, experimental

	television and psychoanalysis, newsreel footage and home movies provoke an

	examination of what the camera sees and what the eye does not.

	

	

	Thurs 15th Jan, 7pm: PHILIPPE MORA

	

	SWASTIKA, Philippe Mora, UK 1973, 16mm, 113mins

	A profound and ultimately horrific essay in and of images that extends

	beyond pictorial documentation; newsreels and propaganda are astutely edited

	together, without spoken commentary, with 'home movies' of Hitler, Eva Braun

	and their party on the terrace in Obersalzberg.

	

	

	Thurs 29th Jan, 7pm: ALEXANDER KLUGE

	

	One of the most innovative and intellectual figures in contemporary German

	cinema, Kluge is also the producer of a remarkable series of television

	programmes. Traversing desire and culture in the 19th and 20th centuries,

	these videos weave together snatches of advertising, cinema, opera and

	communications, constructing an ironic critical discourse on fantasy,

	representation, and history.

	

	WHY ARE YOU CRYING, ANTONIO?, Alexander Kluge, W Ger 1988, VHS, 25mins

	ANTIQUES OF ADVERTISING, Alexander Kluge, W Ger 1988, VHS, 15mins

	CHANGING TIME (QUICKLY), Alexander Kluge, W Ger 1988, VHS, 25mins

	

	

	Thurs 12th Feb, 7pm: YVONNE RAINER

	

	JOURNEYS FROM BERLIN / 1971, Yvonne Rainer, US/UK/W Ger 1980, 16mm, 125mins

	Rainer's film is a stylistically radical examination of psychoanalysis,

	collective action and terrorism. Annette Michelson plays the analysand,

	while her therapist is seen against a mutating backdrop and amidst images

	from Berlin, London and New York. The film's soundtrack includes letters

	written by Ulrike Meinhof of Baader Meinhof and Russian women

	revolutionaries from the 1870s linking a history of repression in West

	Berlin to the power structures of state control and organised opposition.

	

	

	Thurs 26th Feb, 7pm: HARUN FAROCKI

	

	AN IMAGE, Harun Farocki, W Ger 1983, 16mm, 25mins

	Commissioned for television, AN IMAGE documents four days spent in a studio

	working on a centrefold photo for Playboy magazine.

	

	IMAGES OF THE WORLD AND THE INSCRIPTION OF WAR, Harun Farocki, W Ger 1988,

	16mm, 75mins

	Aerial photographs of an industrial plant bombing target in Germany taken by

	the Americans in 1944 are the pivot for an extraordinary and meticulous

	investigation into perception, the camera documenting what the eye chooses

	not to see: the plant neighboured Auschwitz which went unnoticed at the time

	the pictures were taken.
