• ***join us for our next session this wednesday during Open Studios*** 04.02. ASSAF GRUBER A special screening of Miraculous Accident + QandA A special screening of Miraculous Accident, a transtemporal film that moves between 1968 and 2024 to trace an improbable, tender constellation of lives shaped by state-power, ideology, and exile. Following the screening, we will host a Q and A with the artist and filmmaker Assaf Gruber. Miraculous Accident is a transtemporal film that narrates the love story between Nadir, a Moroccan student at the Łódź Film School in 1968, his Jewish editing teacher Edyta, and their shared relationship with Jarek, Nadir’s best friend and Edyta’s protégé. Nadir is among a group of North African students sent to study communist filmmaking techniques as part of the Eastern Bloc’s support for anti-imperialist struggles. Despite her opposition to Zionism, Edyta is forced to leave Poland due to the political rift between Poland and Israel following the Six-Day War. In 2024, Nadir returns to the school to make a film after discovering a forgotten letter Edyta wrote to him from Haifa in 1989. Inspired by the life of former Moroccan student, poet, and filmmaker Abdelkader Lagtaâ, who plays Nadir in the film, Miraculous Accident weaves its plot through original footage and extracts from 1960s student films by Lagtaâ and his peers. 04.02. 17:15-19:00 @Mogi, hbk braunschweig
