Cinema of Care. Who Looks After the Cinema?
Debates about the relationship between care work, society and art have intensified in recent years. We take that conversation and apply it to the particularly industrial art form that is cinema. Who gets burned out by the film industry? What responsibilities do the institutions and filmmakers of today have for each other, and which kinds of labor relations are outdated? What would be the costs of a "caring cinema" – and which films point the way forward? In addition to the conference, there will be the film and debate programme Aesthetics of Care at Hackesche Höfe Kino on 17 February at 8 pm.
