JESUS - THE FILM is a monumental feature film in 35 episodes, shot on Super8. The individual episodes retell the story of the New Testament and were made by a total of 22 filmmakers from East and West Germany in 15 months. The project's own history follows the story of Jesus Christ recruiting his apostles. The film's creator Michael Brynntrup is a central and controversial figure of Berlin's vivid independent community. His transgressive obsessions, as well as his capability to smuggle miles of Russian Super8 film-material through East-West customs, gathered a group of believers around him. Individuals and groups from various art factions filled the holy frame, inspired by the Dadaistic idea of an 'ecriture automatic'. From one to another, they passed ideas, material and actors, including Michael Brynntrup himself as the title character. (IMDB, Wikipedia, brynntrup.de)
The screening at Iris, the incredibly beautiful vintage cinema of the University of Athens Students' Cultural Society, will present the classic with a completely new live soundtrack.

From 20:00 on the Gif-exhibition "Jiggling Golems" will be available at Iris cinema. Bring your smart phone or tablet computer with Wifi function in order to see the animations!

		Efthimis Theodosis The Jesus projection project is an living organism giving birth to a community of musicians, in a post modern ritual of diy cinema. When "ritual" comes into my mind I struggle to recall the notion of an anonymous servant of God.
