The Aquatic Surreal: En stumfilmskoncert med Felia Gram-Hanssen

Til denne særvisning får Jean Painlevés zoologiske surrealisme nyt liv med et musikalsk live-akkompagnement af Felia Gram-Hanssen, kunstner og trommeslager i den danske eksperimentalrocktrio Thulebasen.

Før Jacques-Yves Cousteau var der Jean Painlevé, en banebrydende fransk naturfilmskaber og ekspert i undervandsfauna med et surrealistisk blik. Med et godt øje for det mystiske og uventede fangede Painlevé og hans assistent Geneviève Hamon en drømmeagtig blæksprutte, metamorfe krebsdyr, erotiske søheste, mytiske vampyrflagermus og umættelige rovdyrinsekter. Det blev til mere end to hundrede filmstudier af de langt-mere-end-menneskelige dyr og deres forundrende livsverdener.

Det bliver en eftermiddag om den kunstneriske omfavnelse af naturens fremmedartethed og dens kuriøse ufattelighed.
