![]() Fierce, hysterical, stubborn, almost in a trance, fractious, uninhibited, effusive, desperately unhappy. Greta at parties, at the call center, at sessions with a job application coach, with her son, with her ex-colleagues, at the job center, at bars, walking through the city. But those aren't the actual circumstances. A woman with a vision of urban space, of herself, of her profession, of her life with her child. And the respective vocabulary that goes with it: fragments of theory, empty phrases, buzz words, quotes. The so-called New Berlin, moving from the wastelands to the town houses. She does everything in her power to keep hanging on in there, starts drinking and drifts through the city, torn between the pressure to confirm and the spirit of contradiction.Ī WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE, in Berlin at the beginning of the 21st century. She starts working in a call center but is soon dismissed once again. Greta: 40, an architect, mother of a 12-year-old son, separated from her husband, recently unemployed. ![]() Milena Gregor, Birgit Kohler and Stefanie Schulte Strathaus (Arsenal – Institut für Film und Videokunst e.V.)

The focus of the event is on a cinema of the past become present, and on film (and its locations) that are still in the process of emerging. They do this quite on the own accord, but also in relation to the exterior world, for strategic purposes, as an expression of affect or from motives that remain hidden. Shape shifters are beings that are capable of changing their own external form. ![]() The topic “Shifting Shapes – Cinematic Transformations” will engage with such transformations over time and space, but also over larger structures and analogue and digital formats. Especially when it’s about films that come from the past to shape the present. New locations change what is located there – and vice versa. Starting in October 2015 the entire film collection of the Arsenal will be housed there – publicly available to anyone interested. This new, independent venue for art and culture is located on the grounds of a former crematorium, built more than 100 years ago. This year for the first time, the Summer School will also add a second location, the silent green Kulturquartier. For three days participants engage with a topic located at the interface of theory and practice in cinema.
