Cinematic Space Sessions

Cinematic space
This is a five week series of films that were selected due to a research on how cinematic space is constructed and with which means the filmic space relates and correlates with the construction of social space. This selection of films wants to draw attention to architecture‘s performative aspect and the space that is constructed in visual media. „The space that appears in the image (…) is concrete and not abstract or purely mathematical space. And it is (…) to a certain degree,
organised by the bodies that are in it.“ (Roman Ingarden) At the same time, the two-dimensional framing of a setting calls for the narrative potential of the time/space-arrangements in it and also constructs a fragmented space, that searches for its completitions outside the frame. The selected films may point out various aspects of how space acts in film.
