Often, one only sees glimpses of a work in a show, does not have time to stay for the entire film or forgot who made the video that you cannot stop thinking about. Therefore, this past winter we gave our audience the chance to wish for the films they would like to see most. From the many suggestions we received, we have finally created a program that includes everything from classics such as John Smith’s Girl Chewing Gum to Trisha Donnelly’s noted and appreciated work from Documenta 13, 2012. Two evenings are curated by artists Lisa Tan and Pierre Bismuth.

The festival opens with an evening screening of Matthew Barney’s Cremaster Cycle at Bonniers Konsthall on Saturday, March 23^rd. The bar will be open, and between 20:30 and 21:30 we will take a break in the screening to darken the gallery and host a performance in recognition of Earth Hour, the global climate manifestation where people and cities are encouraged to turn off the lights for one hour. The tickets for this opening evening are 80 SEK (or 60 SEK for seniors, students and everyone under 20 years. free for members).

Encore! is organized by Bonniers Konsthall and takes place at Biografen Sture every Monday and Tuesday from March 25 to April 16.
