AMFEST
We are introducing the new film program AMFEST ART&ARTISTS – documentaries about artists who have changed the cultural landscape over the past 150 years. Film screenings start in mid-October and are be held in more than 40 cities in Russia. These are films about star creators – and about people who have pushed the boundaries of the familiar. Among the heroes of the project are Dadaist Marcel Duchamp, whose idea of the ready-made captured the world, master of light installations Robert Irwin, associate of James Turrell, who will change your understanding of art. All the films are dedicated to visionaries who defined the art vectors of the future. A special link in the program are two films about the creative dynasty of the Wyeths: Andrew, the author of the masterpiece Christina's World from the MoMA collection in New York, and his son Jamie, portraitist of Kennedy and Nureyev. There is also a film in the program that poses a pressing question: will the profession of art critic survive or it'is "Out of the Picture"?..
This year, AMFEST is focusing on independent experimental work and new names. Amanda Kramer's film "Give Me Pity!" radically transforms a familiar genre and mutates the comedy TV show.
