Mobile cinema, a project by Romana Schmalisch had a presentation in Muzychi. ‘Mobile Cinema’ is an apparatus that unites experimental lecturing and moving to different places. To be more concrete: it is a reconstruction of a film prop from Alexander Medvedkin’s film “The New Moscow” (1938): a projection and viewing table where an engineer on his journey to Moscow presents his designs and urban visions for the new city – a bizarre model that is somewhere between urban model, cinema, and plate camera. Similar to the engineer in the film, the artist plans to travel to various places with the “Mobile Cinema” and to present some of her films and filmic research on urban space and urban visions, among them a filmic collage of many of her own films as well as filmic materials not previously used. The film clips address in different ways the changes of urban space and the social changes that come with them. For the presentation of Mobile cinema in Muzychi the artist showed a film ‘The 8th sister’.
