Werkleitz presents the Video Art and Short Film Fest /Facing the 
Artwork/. We show 33 filmic works from 18 countries, most of them chosen 
from more than 400 applications from all over Europe. The artworks were 
selected by an international jury and are presented within six 
programmes, which are structured according to different thematic focuses 
on the topic of art reception. Additional curated films and artists’ 
discussions will make the programme complete.
As opening film of /Facing the Artwork/, we screen the documentary-style 
movie “Photography” (80:00 min, HU 1972) by the Hungarian director Pál 
Zolnay.
The six programmes of the following days are dedicated to the role of 
the audience within the system of art, its significance for the artist 
and the relation between recipient and artwork.
/Facing the Artwork/ presents artistic positions about the individual 
and collective ideas of the recipients concerning the sense and purpose 
of art. On the one hand, the programmes deal with the limits of human 
perception and the interference between the roles of the artist and the 
spectator. On the other hand, they refer to the wide variety of 
possibilities to interpret an artwork./Facing the Artwork/ focuses on 
the audience. It gets the chance to look at itself – from a distance, at 
close range, critically or gently.

The event is funded by the Robert Bosch Stiftung and the Institut für 
Auslandsbeziehungen (ifa) and supported by the Hungarian Film Union and 
culturtraeger.
Werkleitz is supported by the Federal State of Saxony-Anhalt.
