Intervju *ENGLISH BELOW*
Kao dio jesenskog ciklusa Kritička dramaturgija: pauza, SPID i Kurziv u sklopu programa Dokukino u KIC-u organiziraju Montage in Now-Time, filmsku večer koja uključuje projekciju radova Anne Zett te popratni razgovor s autor(ic)om.
Anna Zett je umjetnik_ca i spisatelj_ica čija je raznolika praksa ukorijenjena u disidentskim i kvir perspektivama, oblikovana teorijom i iskustvom u filmu, plesu i grupnoj analizi. Na projekciji ćemo prikazati tri filma iz različitih faza Zettine karijere, koji se na različite načine nadovezuju na krovnu temu pauze – kao stanke, prekida, zastoja i zamrznutosti u vremenu.
O filmovima:
Sad vs sad vs sad (2012., 5′) polazi od dva prekretnička filma iz šezdesetih, Sad! Santiaga Alvareza i Obični fašizam Mihaila Roma, i kroz njih promatra povijest političkog filma. Pita što se događa sa sadašnjim trenutkom kad su ljudi čije je oslobođenje u pitanju zarobljeni na fotografijama jer su ubijeni. Filmski esej Taj nezgrapni objekt (2014, 47′) hvata se u koštac s ideologijom neprekidnog progresa. Polazeći od tragova zamrznutih u vremenu – fosila dinosaura – film prati istraživača_icu u susretu s lovcima na kosti, kiparima, paleontolozima i brojnim teškim pitanjima o zapadnjačkoj povijesti. U filmskom kolažu Nema straha (2023, 31′) povijesni materijali pokreta otpora, protesta i štrajka protiv državne represije u DDR-u čine arhivski triler u kojemu se autor_ica povezuje s političkim osjećajima svog djetinjstva.
Nakon projekcije, uslijedit će razgovor s autor(ic)om koji će voditi kustosica i urednica Barbara Gregov.
Ususret filmskoj večeri, Anna Zett će u Zagrebu voditi radnu grupu na koju se svi zainteresirani mogu prijaviti do 8.10., a više možete doznati ovdje.
Filmovi se prikazuju s engleskim titlovima. Ulaz je slobodan i nije potrebna rezervacija.
O autoru_ici:
Anna Zett je umjetnik_ca i spisatelj_ica rođen_a u Leipzigu, sa sjedištem u Berlinu. Kroz različite medije djeluje kao svjedok_inja, voditelj_ica i izvođač_ica. Zett svojom umjetničkom praksom izaziva represivne strukture i poziva na stvaranje novih, živih veza s onim što se ne može obuzdati. Rezultat tog rada su videozapisi, audio radovi, opipljive instalacije, analitički tekstovi i participativni izvedbeni formati. Od premijere prvog filma 2014. godine, rad Anne Zett prikazivan je u međunarodnim kontekstima umjetnosti, filma, istraživanja, književnosti i izvedbe — u kulturnim institucijama, kao i u DIY prostorima muzeja, kazališta, festivala i konferencija. Zett je autor_ica dvaju eksperimentalnih radijskih drama za njemački javni radio, kao i zbirke književnih tekstova Artificial Gut Feeling (Divided Publishing, 2019). Od 2024. godine predaje medijsku umjetnost u klasi za izvedbene umjetnosti na Akademiji likovnih umjetnosti / HGB Leipzig.

ENGLISH:
As part of the autumn cycle Critical Dramaturgy: Pause, SPID and Kurziv present Montage in Now-Time, a screening of films by Anna Zett followed by a conversation with the artist, on October 11 at 7 pm at Dokukino (KIC).
Anna Zett is an artist and writer whose varied practice is rooted in dissident and queer perspectives, and shaped by theory and by experience in film, dance and group analysis. The program brings together three films from different stages of their career, each approaching the cycle’s theme of pause in its own way: as a break, an interruption, a standstill, a moment frozen in time.
About the films:
Now vs Now vs Now (2012, 5 min) revisits two milestone films of the 1960s and the history of political cinema, asking what happens to now-time, when the people whose liberation is at stake, are stuck on photographs since they have been killed?
Essay film This Unwieldy Object (2014, 47 min) interrogates the ideology of relentless progress. Starting from dinosaur fossils, traces frozen in time, it follows a researcher through encounters with bone hunters, sculptors, scientists and many difficult questions about Western history.
In the collage film No Fear (2023, 31 min), footage of resistance, protest and strike against state repression in the GDR becomes an archival thriller in which the artist reconnects with the political feelings of their childhood era.
The screening will be followed by a conversation with Anna Zett, moderated by curator and editor Barbara Gregov.
The films will be shown with English subtitles. Admission is free, and no reservation is required.
Ahead of the screening, Anna Zett will lead a working group at Academy of Fine Arts. Anyone interested can apply by October 8, and you can find more details here.
About the author:
Anna Zett is an artist and writer, born in Leipzig, based in Berlin. Across various media they practice as a witness, host and performer of poetic encounters. Rooted in dissident and queer perspectives, trained in theory (MA Cultural Anthroplogy, Philosophy, Gender Studies) and informed by filmmaking, dance and group analysis, Zett’s creative practice challenges structures of repression, and invites the live formation of new connections to something uncontained.
This work results in pulsating videos, vocal audios, tangible installations, analytical texts and participatory live formats. Since their first film release in 2014, Zetts work is being presented internationally and locally, at DIY spaces as well as cultural institutions, museums, film festivals, theaters and conferences. Zett’s publications include two experimental radio plays for the German public broadcast and the text collection Artificial Gut Feeling (2019). Anna Zett teaches media art in the class for Performative Arts at Academy of Fine Arts/ HGB Leipzig.
