’26

On Children’s Arts Day (Kunstendag voor Kinderen), OFFoff presents a continuous film program for the whole family!
Seven short films explore the everyday space of the home from unexpected angles. We discover objects that seem to have a life of their own, along with many more surprises: a teddy bear that changes size, a house flooded by a mischievous little girl, moving sand figures and other strange creatures. We set off on all sorts of journeys, but in the end we always find our way back home.
Program on loop (34’) curated by Xavier García Bardón and Gloria Vilches for CCCB: Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona.

Li’s Fenster
After the death of his partner Li, amateur photographer Peter Kräuchi photographed the view from his house daily in an attempt to accept the passing of time. Through Li’s window, you always see the same landscape, always different.
