From Kino LorÂber Films comes a docÂuÂmenÂtary on the Swedish abstract painter, Hilma af Klint:
Hilma af Klint was an abstract artist before the term existÂed, a visionÂary, trailÂblazÂing figÂure who, inspired by spirÂiÂtuÂalÂism, modÂern sciÂence, and the richÂes of the natÂurÂal world around her, began in 1906 to reel out a series of huge, colÂorÂful, senÂsuÂal, strange works withÂout preceÂdent in paintÂing. The subÂject of a recent smash retÂroÂspecÂtive at the GuggenÂheim MuseÂum, af Klint was for years an all-but-forÂgotÂten figÂure in art hisÂtorÂiÂcal disÂcourse, before her long-delayed redisÂcovÂery. DirecÂtor HaliÂna Dryschka’s dazÂzling, course corÂrectÂing docÂuÂmenÂtary describes not only the life and craft of af Klint, but also the process of her misÂcharÂacÂterÂiÂzaÂtion and eraÂsure by both a patriÂarÂchal narÂraÂtive of artisÂtic progress and capÂiÂtalÂisÂtic deterÂmiÂnaÂtion of artisÂtic valÂue.
