On the occasion of Berlin Art Week, the Berlinische Galerie, together with Videoart at Midnight Productions, in collaboration with Flipping the Coin present the German premiere of Cyrill Lachauer’s first feature-length film: Slack.
In Slack, Cyrill Lachauer travels with American photographer Mike Brodie in freight trains across the United States in search of lost fathers, the boundaries of image-making, and an unattainable romance celebrated by pop culture but simultaneously rejected by society. The focus lays on the memory of Brodie’s late partner Mia Justice Smith alias Slack whose ashes have come to symbolize a generation scarred by the fentanyl crisis, shaped by post-punk, TikTok and an unrelenting desire for freedom.
