4. Georg, bit for bit - en film om Georg Johannesen

Feb 6, 2025  •  TV Shows
The hard-hitting intellectual rhetorician, poet, essayist and author Georg Johannesen (1931-2005) died in 2005 during a trip to Egypt. Behind him was a number of poetry collections, non-fiction books and novels that are both provocative and eye-opening. While the content of Johannesen's texts is probably the important thing, he was never afraid to challenge the form, and especially to reveal the language's obscuring and distortion of reality. The distinction between poetry and reality was to be abolished, but also illuminated. As a novelist, Johannesen also stood in opposition to the established, and especially to the norms of society and post-war social democracy. Johannesen's inspirations came from both the Bible and Bertolt Brecht. According to Johannesen, his audience could be divided into two: those who agreed with him, and those who had not understood him. In this documentary, we get a little closer to Georg Johannesen.

11. Dar Kostaki

Jun 23, 2021  •  TV Shows
A film project dedicated to George Costakis, whose unique collection of Russian avant-garde and non-conformist art is one of the most representative ones in the world. The documentary features the collector's daughter, artists, as well as art historians, art critics and museum curators sharing their memories of George Costakis. They disagree with each other, question each other's versions of Costakis' life and its many twists and turns, and thus through the many fragments of their recollections the viewers are able to piece together the collector's multifaceted personality that was anything but simple and nothing short of enigmatic. A complex picture of a man who salvaged and preserved Russian avant-garde art, which is today the nation's proud legacy.
