City Vista Kino Club - stay hungry

About City Vista Kino Club
The intervention series City Vista Kino Club will take place on three dates at three different locations in the public space of Berlin during this summer and will always start after sunset. On each individual intervention a video art work by one of the invited positions will be presented and integrated into the cityscape at a selected location, using the urban and architectural structure as a screen.

This series thematically deals with creating a connection between the realities and ambience of the respective location in the urban space and the chosen video works of the invited artists shown therein. The particular locations where the video works are shown, open a closer look to the content as well as formal orientation of the works and try to generate potential new perspectives for the visitors on both the location and the cinematic works on display.
Each intervention is divided in two parts: At first there is the screening of the video work by the artist. It is followed by a second filmic contribution, that is a choice of the artist and is referring to the video work seen before. Here, cinematic references, inspirations, counterpoints, additions, comments, etc. to the previously shown own video work can be made and pointed out, thus creating an interesting link between the own artistic works and personal preferences and inspirations, and possibly inviting a subsequent discussion.

As an accompanying element to each individual intervention, that can be enjoyed by the visitors while watching the video works, stay hungry and Andrea Nicolò will serve:

City Vista Kino Club wants to address the issue of the extinction of classic cinema that is advancing with digitalization and the various global crises, and it seems that the tipping point in the commercial distribution and consumption of films and videos has already passed. The collective and concentrated experience of a visit to the cinema is increasingly giving way to the fast-paced and unfocused browsing in the infinite possibilities of the Internet, thus permanently changing the perception and consumption behaviour of films and videos. City Vista Kino Club starts exactly at this interface and takes the possibilities of both worlds as an opportunity to create a social meeting place through these filmic interventions in public spaces in the spirit of classical cinema, where people can watch films and video works together and discuss them. At the same time the project aims to take up new tendencies of digitalization and technification in the form of contemporary video art works in order to put these two poles in relation to each other and to question them.

About Don't Rush: Three young men, two brothers and their cousin, meet on a dense summer night to feel the "high" of a dozen "Hasiklidika" songs, Rebetiko songs from the beginning of the 20th century which celebrate the effects of Hashish. But beyond the pleasures of drugs, it is here question of love, joy and sadness, search for freedom and political commitment... Little by little yesterday's counter-culture, made out of poverty and violence, and built on the pains of exile, reverberates the one of today. (https://michiganfilms.be/film/dont-rush/)
