SAX ROYAL meets Super8Friday, January 23, 10.00 pm
A new common ground is the cooperation with the poetry stage Sax Royal from Dresden. The idea of a text-based dramaturgical mesh in films with unknown authorship, whose signature, aim and purpose are handed down to us only fragmentarily, had been planned for a long time, until we finally found the right partner in Sax Royal last year. The premiere was a success in several respects. The authors were thrown in at the deep end and developed, as anticipated, a poetry and presentation specifically fitting for the topic. Reason enough for the festival team to invite them for a rerun, which, in 2015, will be embedded in strong found footage alternative drafts (Penny Siopis, Philipp Hartmann).
