Lutz Mommartz is one of the most influential voices of experimental film in Germany. Since his international breakthrough in 1967 with the film SELBSTSCHÜSSE, he has radically rethought the fundamental questions of cinema: What does authenticity mean in cinematic vision? How does the medium relate to reality and to the audience?
His works, often at the interface of documentary, performative and conceptual art, do not search for narrative fiction, but for cinematic truth and situational presence. Mommartz's films build up fields of tension between perception, camera and social interaction - they open up cinematic processes instead of concealing them. In works such as 400 M IFF, an immediate field of observation, participation and reflection emerges, challenging the audience to reflect on the constitution of reality in cinema. As a pioneer of a "different cinema", Mommartz was always looking for new forms of presentation. This program invites you to experience Mommartz's cinematic thinking as a living theory of seeing: uncomfortable, creative and radically open to film.
