We are pleased to invite you to the film programme screening by Rupert’s current artists-in-residence Benjamin and Stefan Ramírez Pérez. The event will take place on the 12th of March, from 6:50 pm, at Skalvija cinema center (A. Goštauto g. 2, Vilnius). The event will start from the introduction by the artists.
In their films, Benjamin and Stefan intersect staged narratives with documentary material, re-enactments and cinematic references, drawing from shared, as well as individual interests and artistic approaches. Their aim is to create highly cinematic and affective narrative-driven moving image works that blur the line between fiction and reality in complex ways while interrogating our political and social landscape as well as reflecting on processes of image making and their historical, political and technological implications. The artists are interested in questions of authenticity and identity as well as individual and collective relationships to history and geography.
