Kali-Filme

A confrontational, collage-like provocation that unsettles more than it entertains, demanding patience as it dissects violent imagery.

Directed by

Birgit Hein, Wilhelm Hein

Overview

The KALI-FILME are a compilation of 8 single short found footage films, which were composed of Hollywood war-, horror- and women in prison B-pictures, historical war documentaries and porno films. In the trivial films we find images of our own subconscious instincts, which are tabu in the official high culture. KALI is a mother goddess of the Hindu mythology. She is the birth giving mother and at the same time the killing and castrating woman. Since primeval times men do fear her power.
