Together with Tech Arts and Rupert Centre for Art, Residencies and Education, we are happy to invite you to a special film screening of the works by Polish artist Karol Radziszewski, presented in the context of exhibition ‘Authority Incorporeal’ and the 14th Baltic Triennial. The screening will take place at the Tech Arts gallery (Viadilut\u0117s g. 79, Vilnius) on 22 June, from 6 pm. The event is open to the public and free of charge.<\/p>\n
The first part of the event, featuring the short films \u2018Afterimages\u2019 and \u2018Kisieland\u2019, is curated and will be introduced by Augustas \u010ci\u010delis and Viktorija Kolbe\u0161nikova, initiators of the Lithuanian Queer Archive. After a short break, the second part of the event will feature the feature-length work ‘America is Not Ready for This’ presented by the curator of the exhibition Adomas Narkevi\u010dius.<\/p>\n
The documentaries \u2018Afterimages\u2019 and \u2018Kisieland\u2019 by the Polish artist Karol Radziszewski bear witness to the experiences of the Polish queer community in the 1980s. The films centre on the stories of Ryszard Kisiel, an activist and the editor of the cult gay magazine Filo. The short film \u2018Afterimages\u2019 is a retrospective sketch that interweaves fragments of public and private life. A double-exposure photographic film scrolls across the screen as the open conversation between Karol and Ryszard slowly reveals the queer spaces and intimate personal experiences of the Polish socialist period. Meanwhile, in \u2018Kisieland\u2019, Ryszard is interviewed while digging through his personal archive. The viewers are offered a revisiting of slides with pornographic content, a reconstructed photo-shoot, questions that do not have conclusive answers, an impressive collection and shameless yet daring lives. These documentaries open up the possibility of getting to know the history of a community through a personal narrative, and to be perplexed by today’s backdrop \u2013 the move towards openness turns out to be much more difficult than promised. Neighbouring narratives also invite us to look for their reflections, for similar experiences in local contexts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Together with Tech Arts and Rupert Centre for Art, Residencies and Education, we are happy to invite you to a special film screening of the…","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1946","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/festivaliskreives.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1946","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/festivaliskreives.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/festivaliskreives.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/festivaliskreives.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/festivaliskreives.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1946"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/festivaliskreives.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1946\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1952,"href":"https:\/\/festivaliskreives.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1946\/revisions\/1952"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/festivaliskreives.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/festivaliskreives.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/festivaliskreives.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
