Los Angeles Plays Itself

In the organizer's words:

Los Angeles Plays Itself
USA 2003 | 169 min. | OF | D: Thom Andersen

The film industry has changed the city of Los Angeles to its detriment: Based on this thesis, the almost three-hour essay film unfolds a political-philosophical lecture in images. Embedded are excerpts from over 200 films from the silent era to the present day that were shot in Los Angeles or are set there; although they do not always substantiate the subjective views, the thematic organization of the excerpts opens up new connections between Hollywood images, real images of the city and theories about cinema.

In cooperation with the DFI e.V. and the exhibition Stuke/Sieber/Takano: Towards the City in the series Towards Photography
