📽️ Maryam Tafakory ⌛ Born and raised in Iran, Maryam Tafakory works with film and performance. Her unique work unfolds new narratives, with images and the materiality of archives responding to each other in a sensory and poetic experience. Based on a historical event, her work 'Razeh-Del' (2024) subtly and radically raises a multitude of pressing contemporary geopolitical questions. Despite missing images, the director manages to produce a sensual film of rare intensity, where the narrative is infused with a constant exploration of form, resolutely renewing the approach to documentary filmmaking. Maryam Tafakory was awarded the 2025 Moving Image Art Prize, in the framework of the 1st part of Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin, in Paris in November 2025.

🎬 Albert Serra 💭 Albert Serra films silence, slowness and the interstices of reality. He has established himself as a unique figure in European auteur cinema. His films draw inspiration from founding stories (Don Quixote, the Three Wise Men, Louis XIV) and transpose them into contemporary landscapes where grandeur dissolves into anticipation. Between the sacred and the trivial, he explores what remains of our myths when heroism is removed: bodies, light and the passing of time. His radical and hypnotic cinema transforms duration into a sensory experience: a journey through time, the body and memory. Albert Serra will present a carte blanche at the Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin, from 5 to 7 June 2026, at silent green Kulturquartier.

👁️ Antoni Muntadas 💭 A pioneer of conceptual art, Muntadas works where the visible becomes political. For more than fifty years, he has been observing the construction of the gaze – the codes, filters and power structures that condition what we see and believe. His approach is analytical but deeply poetic: he does not denounce, he reveals. Through his works - three of which will be presented in exhibition and as German premieres for the Berlin 2026 edition -, he invites viewers to question the role of the media in politics and its effects on democracy, and resonates strongly with current political events and the rise of extremism. ‘Political Advertisement 1952-2024’, co-directed with Marshall Reese, illustrates the evolution of advertising strategies in US presidential campaigns, with the media's exploitation of fear, prejudice and emotions. From its first version to the present day, "On Translation: Warning" has been declined in more than fifteen languages a single leitmotiv — "Warning: Perception requires involvement" —, disseminated on stickers, posters, postcards and press inserts, as a permanent alert on the invisible filters through which we perceive information. Finally, "Life Is Editing" extends this questioning into the intimate: if our lives are constructed in the manner of a cinematic montage, each decision, each move, each relationship becomes a cut, a selection, a fragment of the narrative we inhabit. As part of the Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin 2026, those three works by Antoni Muntadas are presented in an exhibition at silent green Kulturquartier, as German premieres. 📍 Discover the programme 👉 https://art-action.org/prog
