ZKM’s homage to the moving-image world of the Bauhaus, which opened in February, will be digitally accessible as of April 16, 2020. Due to the current situation, the ZKM will digi- tally present more than 50 Bauhaus films, which are part of the exhibition curated by Markus Heltschl, Thomas Tode, and Pe- ter Weibel, and expand them with a program of talks by ex- perts and short lectures.

»bauhaus.film.digitally.expanded«, initiated and curated by Teresa Retzer, makes the majority of the exhibition films ac- cessible online. Many of these films were thought to be lost and have not yet been shown in their original form. Many of the works have been newly digitized and restored for the exhi- bition and can be seen for the first time in their correct projec- tion speed, color, and sound.

From April 16, 2020 to May 17, 2020, the live program, which is moderated by Teresa Retzer, will take place every Thursday and Sunday at 6 p.m. In addition to the curators of the exhibition, other Bauhaus film experts, including Stefan Drößler, Jeannine Fiedler, Boris Friedewald, Jan Knopf, Martin Reinhart, Rolf Sachsse and Paula Schwerdtfeger, as well as the filmmakers Jutta Hercher and Maria Hemmleb, will participate in this program.
