Culture Talk On the Radio
Synopsis
“Culture Talk on the Radio” is a hybrid, narrative and documentary, a road movie and also an art film and a silent movie. At it’s core is a conversation about the purpose of art between the art critic Christoph Tannert and the well-known artist René Schoemakers coming from the speakers of a car radio. The conversation is real and has not been scripted. Some of the things referred to during this conversation are taken up in the fictive part of the film, allowing the content of the conversation about art to creep into the narrative and eventually gain equal footing with the power of the moving pictures.
