ENTRÉE x CINEMATEKET: KUNSTNERSAMTALE OG FILMVISNING

(scroll down for English) 

I samarbeid med visningsrommet Entrée inviterer vi til til filmvisning etterfulgt av samtale med de tre filmskaperne Anton Vidokle, Adam & Zack Khali, introdusert av kurator Ingrid Haug Erstad. Programmet består av to filmer som begge reflekterer over museets samfunnsrolle og fremtid.

Anton Vidokles film ’Immortality and Resurrection for All!’, tar utgangspunkt i den russiske tenkeren Nikolai Fedorov og hans teori om at museets rolle ikke bare skulle være å ivareta minner fra en fortid men også selve livet til vår forfedre. I filmen ’The Violence of a Civilization Without Secrets’ undersøker Adam & Zack Khalil sammen med kunstneren Jackson Polys, den splittende rettsaken som avgjorde skjebnen til beinrestene av en forhistorisk paleo-amerikansk mann som ble funnet i Kennewick, Washington State i 1996. Filmen reflekterer blant annet over urfolks suverenitet og den makt som ligger i museumsarkiver.

In collaboration with Entrée, we invite you to a screening event followed by a conversation with the three filmmakers Anton Vidokle, Adam & Zack Khalil, introduced by curator Ingrid Haug Erstad. The program consists of two films, both reflecting on the museum’s role and future.

Anton Vidokle’s film ‘Immortality and Resurrection for All!’, is based on the Russian thinker Nikolai Fedorov and his theory that the museum’s role should not only be to preserve memories of a past but also the very life of our ancestors. In the film ‘The Violence of a Civilization Without Secrets’, Adam & Zack Khalil together with artist Jackson Polys is investigating the divisional trial that would decide the fate of the bones of a prehistoric paleo-American man found in Kennewick, Washington State in 1996. The film reflects on the sovereignty of indigenous peoples and the power of museum archives.
