On Thursday, 30 January 2025, the first HoF Filmtage Rendevous of the year will take place at Koki Hanover with Wiebke and Johannes Thomsen, our “Leinwandgeflüster” podcast hosts. At 8:00 PM, the documentary LIVING AN ARTIST'S LIFE – PORTRAITS FROM GHANA AND MALAWI (58th Hof International Film Festival 2024) by Carina Nickel and Arne Dreske will be shown. After the screening, there will be a discussion with the filmmakers.
The film portrays the everyday lives of seven ambitious artists from Malawi and Ghana who are torn between authenticity, making a living, global recognition, and stereotypical expectations. They are trying to secure their families’ existence through their art while also realizing their own potential.
What can art do? What does art do? A constant challenge, one that LIVING AN ARTIST'S LIFE invites us to explore and discuss. Let’s head to Koki Hanover!
