“The Underdox Film Festival in Munich presents itself highly topical in its 18th edition.” Jürgen Moises, “Süddeutsche Zeitung”
About the opening film of UNDERDOX:
“Nature knows no clear, fixed boundaries. But humans, with their fences and walls, are constantly trying out new dividing lines. The consequences of this can currently be seen in Ukraine, at the EU’s external borders or in the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. The latter will probably cease to exist very soon. This was decided after the last fighting between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The conflict has been going on and smouldering for some time. It’s just that almost no one has been interested. Unlike Daniel Kötter, who went in search of clues in Nagorno-Karabakh for his film “Landshaft”. At the Underdox Film Festival, “Landshaft” can be seen as the opening film on 5 October at 7 pm in the Munich Film Museum.”
About the Artist in Focus Declan Clarke:
“A beautiful discovery are the films of Declan Clarke, this year’s “Artist in Focus”. The Irish artist links contemporary and family history with the forms of essay and feature film. He also follows the history of the European left in two experimental “thrillers” and ends up at the Oktoberfest.”
