WHAT MUST REMAIN
Pavillon 333 presents the private film collection of Munich film critic Michael Althen, who passed away in 2011. From the 1980s to the early 2000s, Althen recorded more than 5,500 films off the television and onto VHS tapes, which he then archived — from major classics to B-movies to his favorite films, with film award ceremonies and baseball games in between. It was all about having access to films at a time before streaming existed.
Sophie Mühe and Artur Althen are exploring this collection of VHS tapes in search of classics and other films that have not made it into the canon or onto the next medium. In the exhibition “Was muss bleiben” (“What Must Remain”), they rummage through the collection, play videocassettes on six television screens, create a setting for talking about the movies, and present finds from the private collection of a passionate movie buff in a total of five screenings.
On July 2 at 3 pm, Artur Althen will talk to director and author Dominik Graf and critic and cinema operator Doris Kuhn (Werkstattkino) about collecting and remembering.
In collaboration with the new Munich film magazine “Revü – Flugblatt für Film”: during the five days of the exhibition, selected films will be shown and articles by Althen and “Revü” will be read by Anna Maria Mühe, Liliane Amuat, Johannes Nussbaum, Thomas Hauser, and others.
