21:00 | Beat Film Festival: Mapplethorpe: Look at the pictures |
|
|
|
|
Documentary. USA, Germany 2016, 108 min. Directed by Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato. Starring: Debbie Harry, Fran Lebowitz, Robert Mapplethorpe, Brooke Shields. The only thing more candid than legendary photographer Robert Mapplethorpe’s works was his life, pure obsession with magic of photography and of sex. The authors have unprecedented unlimited access to his archives and work, turning it into the most complete and profound documentary about the provocative and outstanding artist. Mapplethorpe is the narrator in the film, along with his family and collaborators: due to a few rediscovered interviews, he speaks about his life, loves, and works with shocking honesty. What we get is a portrait of an artist who contributed to making his medium, photography, valued and respected as a fine art. Even today, his Foundation gives generous gifts to most renowned museums to help them maintain photography collections.

Documentary. Georgia, Germany 2015, 76 min. Directed by Salome Machaidze, David Meskhi, Tamuna Karumidze. A film about young Georgian skaters, artists, and musicians being trapped between the political and religious powers. They create their own open spaces beneath viaducts and in other ‘non-places’, giving them the feeling of a free existence. The way the teenagers see it, Georgia is all about the old rather than the new. They get no acknowledgement here, so they spend their evenings throwing Molotov cocktails at a concrete slope. The portraits of the skaters are based on a series of photos by David Meskhi, one of the three co-directors. The story is told on the backdrop of the amazing Georgian landscapes, with the wilderness and ruins providing a frame for the characters’ turbulent teenhood.
