FILMDAYS: TRANSITIONS IN TIME

 
Three films Wednesday Nov 10th - Sunday Nov 14th
 
 
Maybe the people in the modern world are more than at any other point in history subject to constant change. We are expected to adapt to new technology, new societal structures and political ideas spreading faster than ever before. While we today in some sense might be uniquely subject to the force of change we are however not the first to deal with the issues and questions the movement of time entails.
 
From the ancient philosopher Parmenides, who claimed that time was an illusion, as it otherwise would have been impossible to ever know anything about the world, to Marx and Engels’ claim in the communist manifesto that capitalist society results in a state where “all that is solid turns into air, all that is sacred is profaned”, thinkers and artists have throughout history examined the concept of time. This semester the Filmklubben Sandgatan 8 explores this topic through three films that in their own ways portray humans dealing with a world changing around them.
 
Introductions before and discussions after the films. Dinner at 18.00 on Sunday, before the film - please join with something to share with others

ONSDAG 10 NOVEMBER
19.30 Bicycle thieves
Vitorio de Sica, Italy 1948, 89 min
Watch one of the neo-realist classics, at the same time heartfelt, funny and socially committer. Awarded an Oscar it was however considered a communist movie. In 1940s Italy you needed a bike to work - in sweden 2021, you stil need it (at Foodora).

FREDAG 12 NOVEMBER
19.30 Koyaanisqatsi by Godfrey Reggio, USA 1983, 82 min
Enter this space-time-story with all your senses. An exuberant, intense experience on the beauty of life threatened and mistreated, but still flourishing beneath. An important film, in film history and still today. Look at these people at Times Square - is it not us? The music by Philip Glass follows closely the pictures.

by James Ivory, United Kingdom, 1993, 134 min
A butler who sacrified body and soul to service in the years leading up to World War II realizes too late how misguided his loyalty was to his lordly employer..
