Double anniversary for Venice Film Festival and Kluge
For its 64th edition, which is also its 75th Anniversary, the world’s oldest festival – the Venice Film Festival (August 29-September 8) – will celebrate a German cinema master of the same age, who left his mark on cinema and on the Venice event: Alexander Kluge (winner of two Golden Lions and a Silver Lion).
The director, one of the signatories of the Oberhausen Manifesto that founded New German Cinema (1962), will show works from his 75-year career, including "Ein-Minuten-Filme" (one minute films) and many unpublished documents, which recount what Festival director Marco Müller calls "the morphological study of cinema" and similar arts.
