"The 21st Forum Expanded, presented by the Arsenal Institute for Film and Video Art, will run from February 12th to 22nd as a part of the 76th Berlinale, presenting an experimental series of films, video installations, exhibitions and performances at silent green Kulturquartier's Betonhalle and cinema. Berlinale Forum Expanded aims to broaden the understanding of cinema as a medium, pushing the boundaries of convention and creating new frameworks for socio-artistic discourse."
"This year's program, titled 'Unauthorized Versions,' highlights the ways in which our histories are written by individuals and states, often with gaps, omissions, counter-narratives and revisions. Amidst uncertainty, political unrest and ongoing wars, the program explores the question of who has authority to create and maintain historical narratives. Presenting works from 30 countries, the installations, films, videos and performances bring to light seemingly forgotten perspectives whose presence open up space for reflection, remembrance and resistance."
"The group exhibition at silent green's Betonhalle features seven installations, including the Forum's first ever video game, each exploring unique perspectives on colonialism. Riar Rizaldi's video installation 'Fanfictie: Volcanology,' focused in Indonesia between the 18th and 19th centuries, examines the tensions between colonial scientific activity and spiritual interpretations of the natural world. 'Butterfly Stories: Malaise II,' a multi-channel video installation by Laurence Favre, made up of layered, fragile butterflies, explores the idea of "unarchiving," challenging the binaries and rigidity imposed by natural history museum collections."
