A film series in cooperation with Pinakothek der Moderne. Each evening screening begins with a thematic introduction. Every Tuesday, 20.00 | City Kinos, Sonnenstr. 12, 80331 Munich | Admission: 13 \u20ac Image and sound interference does not stop short of the cinema auditorium. It was already used as an artistic stylistic device in analogue cinematography. Then, through the use of video-based and digital technologies at the latest, creative possibilities became almost infinite. The film series \u2018Switch to the Glitch!\u2019 presents four movies from four different decades offering approaches in which the boundaries between reality and fiction are explored, disturbed and sometimes overcome in a variety of ways.<\/p>\n TUES 16.1.2024, 20.00 Videodrome<\/strong> by David Cronenberg (Can, 1983, 87′, English original version ) This cult film, long banned in German cinemas, established Cronenberg’s reputation as a master of a psychologically abysmal fantasy riddled with political undertones that does not shy away from ‘body horror’ and ‘snuff movies’. The film tells the story of Max Renn (James Woods), operator of a private cable station, who discovers an encrypted pirate radio station called “Videodrome”, which broadcasts violent pornographic programmes with allegedly real murders on alternating frequencies. Max’s girlfriend, radio presenter Niki Brand (Deborah Harry from \u201cBlondie\u201d), likes the programmes so much that she wants to apply to be an actress, while Max tries to broadcast them on his own station. He learns from a scientist, who only corresponds with him via video cassettes, that viewers addicted to “Videodrome” develop a brain tumour after a while, which causes hallucinations. For Max, a journey into hell begins…<\/p>\n TUES 23.1.2024, 20.00 The Blair Witch Project<\/strong> by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo S\u00e1nchez (USA, 1999,\u201981′, English original version ) Another cult film about the manipulative power of electronic images, in this case supposedly authentic ‘found footage’: in 1994, three film students intend to make a documentary about a local witch legend in the US-American state of Maryland. Although various horror stories claim that this forest is supposedly haunted, they are not deterred from camping there for a few days in order to shoot a documentary. Then, they disappear without a trace, and all that is found of them a year later is their dramatic film footage full of scenes of panic… As one of the most successful independent film productions of all time, \u201dThe Blair Witch Project\u201d was produced without expensive special effects for a paltry 200,000 US dollars and grossed a hundred times that amount at the worldwide box office.<\/p>\n
