Lecture and discussion with film expert Thomas Tode: “Female filmmakers from the Bauhaus: catching up on visibility”
Contemporaries labelled the abstract films of the 1920s as absolute films, as visual music or even as abstract plays of light – disturbing for some, avant-garde for others. Little attention has been paid to the fact that the two Bauhaus members Ré Soupault (née Erna Niemeyer) and Lore Leudesdorff played a key role in this body of absolute films – as partners of Viking Eggeling, Hans Richter and Walter Ruttmann. They always remained unnamed in the credits – uncredited! In his film lecture, curator Thomas Tode corrects the established view that these works were created solely by male hero artists. With numerous film examples.
