Documentary films in a gallery? KineDok at
MeetFactory promises remarkable experiences
29 September, Praha
– Screenings of the latest documentary movies thematically connected with current exhibitions and complemented with
Q&A sessions with artists and filmmakers of the selected artworks and
movies. This is the new collaborative project of the centre of contemporary art MeetFactory and
KineDok, the alternative distribution platform focusing on documentary films,
starting from October 2016.
However, KineDok at MeetFactory doesn't aim at becoming
yet another ordinary cinema. “Screenings
in the gallery spaces will be complemented with curator-guided tours of current
exhibitions or follow-up Q&A sessions with artists and filmmakers or
protagonists of the screened movies,” explains Šárka Maroušková, MeetFactory PR Manager.
The
series of documentary film screenings from the KineDok distribution kicks-off
on October 5th with a Latvian movie My Father the Banker in which the director describes a dramatic life story of her father, university
professor and later a wealthy banker, who was found by Interpol 18 years after
escaping from Latvia in a Malaysian mental asylum. Before the screening will
take place a guided tour of exhibition Laughter
and Forgetting, which explores the malleability of memory, pain of
laughter, the interrelationship between the public and private lives and the
deception of human relationships. The screening will be complemented
with a follow-up discussion with the filmmaker Ieva Ozolina.
On Tuesday 1st November there will be a
screening of a Polish-German documentary by Elwira Niewiera and Piotr
Rosołowski titled Domino Effect about
the great love story from Black Sea marked by the shadow of the Russian power.
The last screening of 2016 is scheduled for Monday 12th December., A
Norwegian documentary by Frode Fimland titled Siblings Are Forever about the brother-and-sister couple living on
the family farm at Kleiva in Naustdal and running the farm in about the same
manners as it was run by several generations before them.
The KineDok at MeetFactory screenings can house up
to several dozen visitors. Tickets for
screenings will be available on-line at www.meetfactory.cz or at the door before the screening. Entrace fee is
60 CZK.

MeetFactory is supported in 2016 by a
grant from the City of Prague amounting to 10.000.000 CZK.
