FILMPREMIERE: Dokumentarfilm "DER UNTERNEHMER DAS DORF UND DIE KÜNSTLER" mit Gästen
In the organizer's words:
Düsseldorf premiere of the documentary film "Der Unternehmer das Dorf und die Künstler" by Marcelo Busse and Julia Suermondt.
Followed by a discussion with the film team!
An entrepreneur and two conceptual artists are planning a somewhat different kind of event in Deppendorf. A simple publicity stunt? Instrumentalization? Or the rousing power of art? In any case, the controversial idea creates meaning and community. But the fun stops somewhere...
In 2012, Swiss artists Frank and Patrik Riklin meticulously planned and documented their joint art project "Saving Flies in Deppendorf" with Bielefeld insecticide manufacturer Hans-Dietrich Reckhaus, with the intention of making a film themselves. Nothing came of it, and now the material has been lying idle for ten years. Filmmakers Marcelo Busse and Julia Suermondt were amazed and fascinated by the footage. Their idea was to portray the story in all its ambivalence, absurdity and humanity, without judging or taking sides. And so the film tells a crazy story as well as a confrontation with found footage.
The action inspired Hans-Dietrich Reckhaus to change the company and the counter-movement "Save instead of kill", which continues to this day. With their "Atelier für Sonderaufgaben", Frank and Patrik Riklin continue to initiate transformation processes for society and the environment in the most unusual and surprising ways possible - in their own words, "breaking into existing systems to let others break out".
