“Hurrah, we are still alive!” [85min] is the story of a team of bohemian filmmakers, whose beliefs and practice are confronted by an encounter with the politics of the real world. Living in an oppressive, conservative state, Rita - an actress and ex-poet, and Dirk - an editor, prepare for their next big commitment - a popular film about Rosa Luxemburg. While they await the return of their enigmatic and influential director, who has left without a trace, Rosa - a member of an underground leftist militant group visits their house. In the course of dense action, the protagonists - whose characters are loosely based on the group that surrounded Rainer Werner Fassbinder - are forced to re-evaluate their belief in political cinema.
After the screening, Lubomir Grzelak (Lutto Lento) presents his latest performance MEDIEVAL DREAMS I-XIII . Thirteen anonymous pieces are transcribed from neumatic notation into digital instrumentarium, The missing link between baroque music and trance. The performance was featured last year in “CRACK UP-CRACK DOWN “ curated by Slavs and Tatars.
The evening will morph into a club night with Wixapol S.A.- a musical, aesthetic, and social project that uses a 20-year+ heritage of hardcore genres and radical rave varieties from gabber and trance to hardstyle and pumping house, with a particular emphasis on the Polish strains. It confronts these interests and redefines extreme peripheries in techno culture via internet aesthetics, memes, and accelerationism.
