Screening: "Actually January" - A film by Jan Peters
As a report from the research semester, Jan Peters is showing his new film "Eigentlich eigentlich Januar" (2022, 100 minutes, color and b/w). Jan Peters worked on this film during his teaching leave in the winter semester 2019/20, at that time still under the title "January, 1 - 31".
For the film, he took a bag - filled with unexposed and in some cases long overlaid analog film material - as an opportunity to expose a three-minute roll of 16mm or Super 8 film every day for a month. In addition to the small everyday and the big political, he is primarily concerned with the question of the image: from Nanouk to Apocalypse now to the experimental film group Schmelzdahin, film history is questioned just as much as his own family images and history(ies). In addition to the question of who takes which pictures, when, with which equipment, by whom and for whom, isn't it just as important which adhesives are used to stick them where? All 31 film reels that make up "Eigentlich eigentlich Januar " are accompanied by a commentary that immerses the viewer in the filmmaker's associative flow of thought, which is always abruptly interrupted in the middle of a sentence at the end of each reel.
"Eigentlich eigentlich eigentlich Januar" premiered at the Duisburger Filmwoche and will also be shown at the Kino im Sprengel in Hanover (13.01.23) and at the Stuttgarter Filmwinter (15.01.23) after the screening in Kassel.
