The filmmaker Ebba Jahn presents her film Video Edition Begegnungen. The work brings together artistic encounters across performance, music, poetry, and experimental film, unfolding a multilayered network of international collaborations.
At its core are open artistic situations in which different practices, generations, and media meet—ranging from documentary closeness and performative condensation to improvisational modes of working.
Before the screening, a moderated artist talk with Ebba Jahn, led by Mathias Maschat, will offer insights into the project’s development, context, and curatorial concept.
Ebba Jahn has worked as a filmmaker in the field of documentary and experimental cinema since the early 1980s. With Rising Tones Cross (1985), she created an acclaimed portrait of the New York improvisation and jazz scene, now regarded as an important historical document. In later works such as the short film collection Arts Interplay (2008) and the audiovisual dialogue IDEA – Miniatures by Improvisers (2022), she explores artistic processes at the intersection of music, visual art, and society. Her films combine precise observation with poetic openness and have been shown internationally at festivals and institutions such as the Arsenal – Institute for Film and Video Art in Berlin. Alongside her filmmaking practice, Jahn works as a curator and editor, initiating projects that foreground dialogue between art forms, generations, and cultural contexts.
