Filmklubben Sandgatan 8 för att se och diskutera film hos Dominikanerna på Sandgatan 8 i Lund. Vi ser filmer som kan ge underlag för reflektion, filmer som är gjorda med engagemang. Det vi söker är inte film med “budskap” eller ren underhållning, men film som närmar sig världen med nyfikenhet och öppen blick.
Bra film kan fördjupa perpektiven. Där finns det som inte går att förklara, människans och världens mysterium, alla lager av verklighet. En sanning, gömd i den vanliga världen, kan framträda in te minst i de diskussioner som följer på varje film. Under några år har vi sett film bland annat av Andrei Tarkovsky, Robert Bresson, Hirokazo Kore-eda,  Ingmar Bergman, Erik Rohmer, Bo Widerberg, Debra Granik, Kelly Reickhardt och  andra. Vi blandar “svårare” och “enklare” filmer, svenskt och annat - alltid med engelsk undertext.
Höst och vår har vi under en följd av år anordnat FilmDagar med ett valt tema, ett bra tillfälle att se flera filmer av en regissör och gå in och undersöka hans värld.

Programansvariga för Filmklubben 2025-26 är Magnus Ingvarsson, Viggo Johnsson, Daniel Markus, Daniel Lange, Mina Nesic och Björn Engdahl, dominikanbroder.

Alltid introduktion före och samtal efter filmen, vanligtvis på engelska/ Always introduction before the film and discussion afterwards

FILM WEEK
MOVIES BY BÉLA TARR - REGAINING DIGNITY

Béla Tarr was born in 1955 into an artistic family. He became a child actor, but at the age of 14 he instead moved behind the camera. His first amateur films, from 16 onwards, were documentaries about factory-life and impoverished people in Budapest, a conventional social-realist topic in Communist-era Hungary but by Tarr and his comrades eskewed in an anarchistic fashion that was not to the régime’s liking. Tarr was thus banned from university studies. Instead of studying philosophy — the strive of his youth — he continued to shoot movies, and was eventually accepted at film school. His style shifted from realism as he began to collaborate with novelist László Krasznahorkai. We screen three of their works, written by Krasznahorkai, directed by Tarr. In them, we meet Hungarian suburbia and the desolate countryside, where people seem more connected to secret forces in cosmos than to eachother. These movies are famous for their slow, gloomy, black-and-white ambiance. But look closer, and you will see man. Stripped of colours, drama, even personæ, stripped of false beliefs, you will find the dignity of man. Tarr’s ethos sounds strongly in the idiotic buzz of today. He even stopped filming when he had nothing more to say. His movies live on as testimonies of another world, or rather as signals from within. Laureate László Krasznahorkai thanked his companion in his speech at the Nobel Prize banquet of 2025: “To Béla Tarr, who created colours by making them disappear, because in his great films he tries to speak as the sinner who nevertheless, with all his sins, must still be loved.”

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 27TH

Werckmeister Harmonies
by Béla Tarr and Agnes Hranitzky, Hungary 2000, 2h25min, starring Lars Rudolph, Peter Fritz, 
Hanna Schygulla 
A cirkus with a dead whale and a mystical nihilistic prophet provokes an outburst of uncontrolled violence in a remote and grey Hungarian town. A meditation on creation and destruction, with people, guilty or innocent: “We didn´t find the real object of our dispair, so we rushed on everything...”

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 28TH

followed by
19.15 The Turin Horse 
Hungary 2011, 2h36min, starring János Derzsi, Erika Bók, Mihály Kormos
Dubbed by some as a reversed Genesis, with Nietzschean elements, this is Tarr’s alleged last movie, his last word in the world of cinema. In the beginning of his career, he wanted to change the world, now he ponders “the heaviness of human existence”.

SUNDAY MARCH 1ST
19.15 Damnation
Hungary 1988, 1h56min, starring Miklós B. Székely, Vali Kerekes, Gyula Pauer
A pivotal work in Tarr’s career, as he shifted scope, pace and colouring to create a cinematic world fully his own. He came to inspire Gus Van Sant and was — unwillingly — compared to Andrei Tarkovsky. Welcome for a drink at the Titanik bar!
