ölmondnacht

by Anna Malina

1 august 2023

Ths film streaming, programmed by Bruno Atkinson, features one of Anna Malina’s latest films ölmondnacht. Anna works by  constructing and reconstructing films through digital and analog manipulation. “ölmondnacht,” she says, “is a revenge fantasy. A corrupted & glitched daydream. A futile endeavor to cope with visions of terror… Sunflower Fields Forever! It is based on scenes from various films by necrorealist filmmaker Yevgeni Yufit, cut into a new narrative influenced by the pain unleashed by Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine.”

The film is streamed on culturala in autumn-winter of 2023, coupled with a newsletter (of course) and a long-form interview conversation between Anna and Bruno.
