PLANETE+ DOC SPECIAL
This year again PLANETE+ DOC FF invites to a section featuring non-standard, genre-bending films and events, tough to classify and dub as documentaries. This section is to be a vital element of the festival. It aims to broaden its scope and expand on various issues touched upon in other sections.
In this section we will screen Sergei Loznitsa’s latest feature “In the Fog”. The director’s retrospective of documentaries is a part of this year’s festival, too. We will also show films by Sharon Lockhart, simultaneously with the opening of her exhibition at the Centre for Contemporary Art Zamek Ujazdowski in Warsaw, and a series of documentaries on the threshold of visual art, co-organised with the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw. In addition, we will screen documentaries showing extreme sports performers from around the world, produced by Red Bull Media House.
ART.DOC
Attend the meeting ART.DOC following the screening of the films “Kisieland”, “Sculpture Plein Air. Swiecie 2009”, “Conquerors of the Sun”. Warsaw, Wednesday, May 15, Kinoteka
Filmoteka Muzeum of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw invites to the screening of documentaries made by visual artists. Their common denominator is accepting reality as art material. The main difference is the way of using it. We will present films from the last several years, which go in different ways about the documentary convention. Some are almost
classic, telling about a specific character or event. Some show situations and processes initiated by the artists themselves. Others blur the border between reality and fiction.
The most traditional in approach is Karol Radziszewski’s Kisieland, whose production started in 2009 and which premiered in 2012. It’s a record of the artist’s meeting with Ryszard Kisiel, the author of the first gay zine in Central and Eastern Europe. Artur Żmijewski goes one step furtherin his Sculpture Plein Air. Swiecie 2009, a record of a plein air, which, like the First Biennale of Spatial Forms in Elbląg (1965), provided a meeting ground for artists and factory workers. The director observes and documents here the situation that he himself provoked. Conquerors of the Sun (2012), made by Anna Baumgart in collaboration with art historian Andrzej Turowski, is a partly artistic, partly scientific reconstruction, blurring the border between facts and imagination. Baumgart recreates the route of the agitation train which was sent in 1920 via Poland to Berlin to help the German Communist Party, completing the story with fictional elements.

Sharon Lockhartis one of the most prominent contemporary female artists whose experimental film and photography pieces aim at redefining the image and its ontological status. Lockhart’s minimalist installations comprise the tension between the nature of a still image (photography) and the stasis of the moving image (film). Her films are pictorial sequences that serve as outstanding examples of portraiture, providing insights into the models’ psyche, yet at the same time emphasizing the conceptual character of Lockhart’s work.
Sharon Lockhart (b. 1964 in the United States) is currently based in California. She has received fellowships from Guggenheim and Rockefeller Foundations, to name just a few. Lockhart’s films have been screened at many international film festivals, while her works were exhibited by leading cultural institutions that include Museum of Modern Art and Gladstone Gallery in New York, Künsthalle in Zurich, Neugerriemschneider in Berlin as well as Blum and Poe in Los Angeles. Her most important exhibits were shown in Vienna Secession, Hamburg’s Kunstverein and at the 55th Carnegie International in Pittsburgh. Lockhart is also an associate professor at the University of Southern California’s Roski School of Fine Arts.
Sharon Lockhart – MILENAat Warsaw’s Centre for Contemporary Art in Ujazdowski Castle is the artist’s first exhibit in Poland that will be accompanied by screenings of her movies at PLANETE+ DOC film festival. The exhibit will juxtapose Lockhart’s photography series and large-format prints that employ moving images, sounds and performance pieces, all serving to accentuate the polyphonic dimension of her art. Lockhart’s work also includes narrative experiments, ranging from minimalist “Teatro Amazonas”through post-avantgarde “Pine Flat” to the monumental “Noa Eshkol”, in which she pays tribute to the great Israeli choreographer. The exhibit will also feature “Podwórka”, an hour-long documentary shot in Lodz in 2009 – a poetic set of vignettes depicting children’s play in the deserted courtyards of typical once-Jewish tenement houses in Lodz. The film’s narrow narration, created through the use of a single static shot, reflects the architectural otherness of public spaces in Lodz.
