Anselm / 2023 / 1hr & 33mins / Subtitled / Rated PG

“What I hope for an audience to take away from the experience of Anselm? That they leave behind categories and opinions, leave behind any preconception of what art can be or can achieve, and just take in the stunning scope of this great German romantic, poet, thinker and visionary Anselm Kiefer.” -Wim Wenders

This unique cinematic experience lets the audience dive deep into Anselm Kiefer’s work. It reveals the painter’s life path, inspiration and creative process by exploring his fascination with myth and history. Past and present are interwoven to diffuse the line between film and painting. Shot over the course of more than two years in stunning 3D, Wim Wenders creates a unique portrait of one of the greatest contemporary artists, allowing us to be completely immersed in the world of Anselm Kiefer.

This is part of a series of film screenings taking place at Fabrica which profile artists that have paved the way in their craft with a rebellious nature, including Anselm on 16 June and previously All The Beauty and the Bloodshed on 20 March, which is a documentary film about photographer and activist Nan Goldin, directed by Laura Poitras.

Film is rated PG, for more guidance please check the BBFC website.
