The theme for our anniversary year: something to do with art. We have been involved with this since we founded UNDERDOX in 2006. We don’t want films to pass us by. We want to see them, we want to hear them, consciously, with our eyes and ears wide open. We celebrate film as art. And not as succinctly as our wording might suggest.
Opening film: BAD PAINTER by Albert Oehlen

The painter Albert Oehlen, with Udo Kier’s piercing gaze, stands in front of a white canvas. He applies a thick brushstroke. ‘A fleck is already a painting,’ he triumphs. With Udo Kier, Charlotte Taschen, Grace Zabriskie, Kim Gordon. German premiere!
LONDON ORBITAL | country & artists in focus
London filmmakers Andrew Kötting, Chris Petit, Emma Matthews and writer Iain Sinclair explore their surroundings through film and writing. They open up poetic perspectives on reality – on urbanity, marginality, the madness of the world.
