BELLEVILLE is a recurring screening series that brings together all kinds of moving images, from artist film and advertisement to home movie and music video. It is a montage of fragments braided from our sprawling visual culture that aims to transcend constraints of semantic framework or genre. By placing disparate visual languages—lifted from the continuous stream of our ocularcentric society—in dialogue, interpretation shifts and extends through juxtaposition. BELLEVILLE reflects on the rhythms and ruptures of contemporary seeing and its non-linear logic, enacting a mediation on spectatorship itself.
More movie night than formal screening, BELLEVILLE takes place in an intimate studio setting in Berlin. Conceived by writer/curator Dara Jochum and artist Lukas Panek, the series was born from an affection for collective viewing and the informal exchange that such proximity allows.
