Manifesto (2015)
Director
Julian Rosefeldt
Main cast
Cate Blanchett
Genres
Drama
Description
Manifesto draws on the writings of Futurists, Dadaists, Fluxus artists, Suprematists, Situtationists, Dogma 95 and other artist groups, and the musings of individual artists, architects, dancers and filmmakers, editing and reassembling them as a collage of artistsâ manifestos, ultimately questioning the role of the artist in society today. Performing these ânew manifestosâ while inhabiting thirteen different personas â among them a school teacher, a puppeteer, a newsreader, a factory worker and a homeless man â Cate Blanchett imbues new dramatic life into these famous words in unexpected contexts. Rosefeldtâs work questions whether these passionate statements, composed by artists with utter conviction, have withstood the passage of time. Can they be applied universally? How have the dynamics between politics, art and life shifted? And what is the artistâs role in society today?
