MoCA Skopje Summertime Cinema – Screen for Skopje

In memory of the catastrophic 1963 earthquake in Skopje, and as part of the MoCA – Skopje Summertime Open Air Cinema programme, we will be screening the experimental documentary “Screen for Skopje” (1988, 31′) by Polish director, actress and producer Małgorzata Potocka.
The screening will take place on 26 July at 9pm at MoCA under the sky.
Admission is free.
The MoCA Summertime Cinema programme is curated by Sofia Grigoriadou.
The film follows artists active in the 1980s as they present performances, actions and public interventions. Some of them, such as Christo, Simon Šemov, Petar Mazev and Jerzy Treliński, donated their works to the art collection of MoCA – Skopje. Others such as Józef Robakowski, Ivan Ladislav Galeta and Joan Jonas are also featured in the film. Meanwhile, two figures hidden behind a white canvas playfully guide the viewers through modernist Skopje.
The screening will be followed by a get-together with music and drinks.
The documentary was part of the exhibition “No Feeling is Final. The Skopje Solidarity Collection”, featuring works from MoCA’s art collection. The exhibition was opened at the Kunsthalle Vienna and is currently on display at the National Gallery in Prague.
Thanks to Filip Dimevski and Živko Grozdanoski for translating the film into Macedonian.
