Cosmic Miniatures
Buy ticketsAlways curious master veteran Kluge enters the world of AI and delivers a creative and playful essay where facts and fiction are freely mixed.
In 1982, Alexander Kluge was awarded a Golden Lion in Venice for his life's work. However, the now 91-year-old author and filmmaker, who was part of the New German Cinema movement, did not settle for that. In Cosmic Miniatures, the avant-garde Kluge delves into AI and specifically a program used for medical research, in search of the images he desires. In different chapters, he stitches them together with historical archive material, quotes, statements, formulas, tables - and humor. He also links back to his own past and his perhaps wildest period when some real low-budget science fiction films were made. It all becomes a bubbling flow of images, text, and fantastic music, with a grand finale.
