The Utopia of Film:
Chapter 74
Works by Hou Hsiao-hsien, Wong Kar-wai and Edward Yang*
Each Tuesday
The Utopia of Film is a series of chapters - a sequence of constellations and questions which change on a monthly basis. Each chapter contains several films. The selected works are capable of standing on their own with their individual qualities, but the totality of each chapter also provides a specific context. The Utopia of Film tells a history of films in their relation to each other and to society.
Reduced tickets (3,00 €) are available for students with a valid membership.

* The films made by Hou Hsiao-hsien, Wong Kar-wai and Edward Yang (A Brighter Summer Day) between 1989 and 1991 belong together: the mid-twentieth century seen through the rear view mirror of emphatic bio-historiography, presented by three masters of modern cinema – and of „the other Chinas” – at their creative peak. “How film writes history anew.” (Frida Grafe)
