“That-has-been” is what Roland Barthes has described as photography’s defining feature. It always points to something that is no more. One could say photos are souvenirs; photos frequently assume the role of one's own memories. Films, on the other hand, “flicker” — as Susan Sontag noted — and then “go out” again. They always occur in the here and now. Yet film can also be viewed as a memory container: it safeguards something. This program is comprised of photofilms in which private, personal histories and world history confront each other, and features works by Thierry Knauff, Agnès Varda, Franz Winzentsen, Jerzy Ziarnik, Helke Misselwitz, and Janet Riedel, Katja Pratschke, and Gusztáv Hámos.
