Gruodžio pradžioje visos Lietuvos kino teatrų ekranus nušvietė ypatingas reiškinys – pirmasis lietuviškas 3D filmas. Režisieriaus Deimanto Narkevičiaus „Čiulbanti siela“ – tai psichodelinė pasaka apie vieną XIX a. vasaros dieną gaivališkoje Dzūkijos gamtoje. O žiūrovams – galimybė iš gruodžio tamsos ir šalčio pabėgti į atgaiva ir paslaptimis alsuojančią vasarą lietuviškame kaime. Čia pasaulėjauta vis dar persmelkta mitinio mąstymo ir žmonės gyvena darnoje su gamta, tačiau į kasdienybę jau skverbiasi modernybė. Alytuje ir Varėnoje gruodžio 9 d. vyks susitikimai su filmo kūrybine grupe. FM99 eteryje režisierius Deimantas Narkevičius pasakoja apie pirmąjį lietuvišką 3D filmą.

In the wake of the coronavirus epidemic and shutting down of much of the UK's cultural life, we have decided to bring you a series of interviews with contemporary artists, writers, filmmakers and other cultural figures, conducted via Skype (so apologies for the diminished audio quality), about their practices, the political issues that inspire them and the socio-economic conditions that have shaped their work. In the twelfth of these Sessions, Juliet talks to artist and filmmaker Deimantas Narkevičius about how the Covid-19 crisis has played out in his native Lithuania, its effect on his teaching work and artistic practice, his forthcoming feature film on stereoscopic photography and his previous works dealing with Soviet monuments and cultural memory. Then they discussed several of Narkevičius’ films in detail: The Role of a Lifetime (2003), made with English filmmaker Peter Watkins; Once in the XX Century (2004); Revisiting Solaris (2007), in which Narkevičius filmed the final chapter of Stanisław Lem’s science fiction novel, which was left out of Andrei Tarkovsky’s 1972 adaptation; and Restricted Sensation (2011), dealing with the treatment of gay men in the Soviet Union in the 1970s. A full list of references for the programme, with links, can be found via our Patreon at www.patreon.com/suite212, and are available to $3 subscribers.

SONIC ACTS FESTIVAL 2019 – HEREAFTER The Otolith Group and Annie Fletcher – Eastman is the Matter at Hand24 February – De Brakke Grond, Amsterdam, The Netherlands With an introduction by Emily Pethick. From the late 1960s until his death in 1990 at the age of 49, Julius Eastman, the queer African-American avant-garde composer, pianist, vocalist and conductor, wrote and performed compositions whose ecstatic militant minimalism initiated a black radical aesthetic that revolutionised the East Coast’s new music scene of the 1970s and 1980s. No recordings of Eastman’s compositions were released during his lifetime. In January 1980, Julius Eastman was invited by the Music Department at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois to present his compositions Crazy Nigger (1978), Evil Nigger (1979) and Gay Guerrilla (1979). A number of African-American students and one faculty member objected to the titles of Eastman’s compositions. The titles were redacted from the concert programme. Before the concert on 16 January 1980, Eastman delivered a public statement that responded to these objections. The speeches delivered by two speakers in The Otolith Group’s video, The Third Part of the Third Measure (2017) – on display as the installation at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam during the festival – are based on each performer’s adapted transcription of Eastman’s Northwestern statement. This talk by The Otolith Group – Anjalika Sagar and Kodwo Eshun – who will be joined by Annie Fletcher, will focus on the importance of this Afrofuturist artist and expand on ideas in making the film. In May 2019, the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, will present the first large scale solo exhibition of The Otolith Group. The exhibition is curated by Annie Fletcher. Founded by Anjalika Sagar and Kodwo Eshun, The Otolith Group makes films, installations, and performances that are driven by extensive research into the histories of science fiction and the legacies of transnationalism. Their works and curatorial projects explore the temporal anomalies, anthropic inversions and synthetic alienation of the posthuman, the inhuman, the non-human and the anti-human. In 2010 The Otolith Group were nominated for the Turner Prize. Annie Fletcher is the chief curator at the Van Abbemuseum. Her projects include the solo exhibition of Qiu Zhijie, the ten-day project in collaboration with DAI called Becoming More in 2017, a collaborative research project led by Vivian Ziherl called Frontier Imaginaries: Trade Markings in 2018 and a large-scale and travelling museum retrospective of the Otolith Group in 2019. She tutors at De Appel, Amsterdam, Dutch Art Institute, Arnhem and Design Academy Eindhoven. She is part of a team that developed the Museum of Arte Útil with Tania Bruguera in 2013 and continues to develop the Association of Arte Útil today. Other projects include solo exhibitions or presentations with Ahmet Ögut, Hito Steyerl, Sheela Gowda, David Maljković, Jo Baer, Jutta Koether, Deimantas Narkevičius, Minerva Cuevas and long-term projects Be(com)ing Dutch (2006 – 09) and Cork Caucus (2005), both with Charles Esche.

Born into a Jewish family in Moscow in 1971, Yevgeniy Fiks moved to New York in 1994. His conceptual art reacts to amnesia about the USSR in the post-Soviet space, resisting nostalgia and commodification in favour of recovering repressed histories, especially those of LGBT and Jewish people; he also looks at the relationship with the USSR and the USA before and during the Cold War, and at histories of the American left, suppressed since the McCarthy witch-hunts. In this Suite (212) Extra, Juliet talks to Yevgeniy about his exhibition Mother Tongue at London’s Pushkin House from March-May 2019, dealing with the underground slang spoken by Russian gay men in the 1970s and 80s, and his wider practice.

Despite decades of censorship and neglect, Peter Watkins (http://pwatkins.mnsi.net/) has created a body of work that marks him out as one of the UK’s greatest filmmakers. Born in Surrey in 1935, Watkins began his career pioneering the ‘docu-drama’ in two works for the BBC: historical drama Culloden (1964) about the final battle in the Jacobite rebellion, and The War Game (1965), speculating about a nuclear attack on the UK. The BBC refused to broadcast the latter, and after his feature film Privilege (1968) had a poor commercial and critical reception, Watkins spent the rest of his career in exile. In his theoretical writing, teaching and filmmaking, Watkins has challenged the ‘monoform’ – a standardisation of Mass Audio-Visual Media that barrages its audience with a rapid flow of changing images and sounds, with the intention of preventing any real contemplation. Joining Juliet to discuss Watkins' work is Gareth Evans, former editor of Vertigo magazine and adjunct Moving Image Curator at Whitechapel Gallery.

Diskusija „Politika kaip menas?“ Šiandienos politika primena fantasmagorinę sceną, kurioje gausu įvairios kūrybinės raiškos. Čia galima rasti ne tik klounų ir tragiškų herojų, bet taip pat ir perfomansų, instaliacijų autorių, poetų ir, be abejo, dailininkų. Politiką ir meną mėginta atsieti jau nuo Antikos laikų. Kita vertus, šios dvi sritys be perstojo flirtavo viena su kita, šokdamos dialektinį šokį, kuriame ir Platono pasiūlymas išvyti poetus iš idealios valstybės, ir Schillerio entuziazmas dailiaisiais menais įgyvendinti „politinio gyvenimo taisymą“. Taigi – ar politika yra menas? Jeigu taip, kokios šios sąveikos galimybės? Ir kas lieka menui, kai politika vis įmantriau išnaudoja jo veikimo būdus?Diskusijoje dalyvauja filosofas VDU prof. Gintautas Mažeikis ir videomenininkas Deimantas Narkevičius. Diskusijos moderatorius dr. Vytautas Ališauskas. Įrašyta 2018 m. vasario 25 d. Vilniaus knygų mugėje.
