Constellations Super 8:
Masterclass with Helga Fanderl
M+ Cinema brings Super 8 filmmaker and poet Helga Fanderl for an engaging masterclass, the German artist will screen a selection of her silent shorts and expand upon her extensive experience with film as an artistic medium. Unique in her field, Fanderl will share insights into her intuitive artistic process, her iconic in-camera editing, and her incessant quest to find the appropriate cinematic form for her sensory and conceptual inspirations. Other topics will include her expertise in site-specific presentations, whether in traditional cinemas, art galleries, or ephemeral screening structures, and how she curates and performs her always-intimate programmes for the audience.
The films will be presented in their original Super 8 format, as well as in 16mm blow-ups. The masterclass will be moderated by M+ CHANEL Lead Curator of Moving Image Silke Schmickl and Curator of Moving Image Chanel Kong.
With special thanks to the German Consulate General Hong Kong.
