Closing film: The artist & the pervert

Film program, AU/DE/US 2018, 96 min., engl/dt. OV + engl. UT

By: Beatrice Behn + René Gebhardt

With: Georg Friedrich Haas, Mollena Williams-Haas

Georg Friedrich Haas is a famous Austrian composer and child of Nazi parents, his wife Mollena, a renowned American kink educator and descendant of slaves. Together they live in a public kinky relationship: she the “slave” and muse, he the master – a combination touching on matters of race, sexuality, and power relations. A beautiful document of intersections of perversion, art, love and radical self-determination.
