The UC Berkeley Department of German and BAMPFA are pleased to host Sergei Loznitsa’s Mosse Lecture. The Berlin-based filmmaker has directed more than thirty films that examine history, politics, and cultural identity from a European perspective. His illustrated presentation addresses his aesthetic approach to documentation and artistic practice as a filmmaker who frequently works with archival imagery to create essay films and is also a writer/director of feature films. Included as part of this presentation is a screening of his visually striking early short film Factory (2004).
The annual Mosse Lecture is generously supported by the Mosse Foundation and reflects the foundation’s mission to promote cultural exchange and political engagement. The Mosse Lectures were originally founded in 1997 at Humboldt University in Berlin to commemorate the history of the Mosse family, their patronage of the arts, and their contributions to intellectual life through the German-Jewish publishing house run by Rudolf Mosse and the newspaper Berliner Tageblatt.
