As part of the supporting program for Rey Akdogan's exhibition Carousels, Haus am Waldsee invites you to a film evening on 20 May 2026 at 7 pm with a selection put together by the artist. Experimental short films by Germaine Dulac, Maya Deren and Michael Snow as well as Jean-Luc Godard's science fiction film Alphaville (1965) will be shown.
In these films, light acts as an aesthetic, structural and rhythmic principle that shifts the perception of the everyday: objects are freed from their utilitarian function, familiar relationships between light and shadow are reversed, variations of brightness and movement create forms that defy clear definition.
In Godard's Alphaville, this is condensed in urban space: artificial light and harsh contrasts fragment nocturnal Paris into geometric patterns, at times creating an atmosphere in which technological control, alienation and emotional distance resonate.
7 p.m. - Short films by Germaine Dulac, Maya Deren and Michael Snow
7.30 pm - Jean-Luc Godard, Alphaville (1965), 99 min.
The café is open until 8pm.
