Final Cut

Director: Joeri Pruys
Where Marina Abramović's shocking debut performance was censored in Amsterdam fifty years ago, now she's considered a superstar. How can new generations of artists who face suppression today ensure their work gets seen?

This documentary reveals how Marina Abramović's first performance in Amsterdam was censored fifty years ago. Now, Abramović is a superstar with a headline-grabbing exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum. But new generations of artists, such as Basma al-Sharif, an artist with Palestinian roots, still face difficulties: incomprehension, marginalisation and outright suppression. The documentary poses a seemingly simple, but multi-layered question: who decides what we see? Featuring unique archive material and exclusive interviews, including with Marina Abramović herself.

During the premiere on Sunday, 27 September, a live performance by Palestinian-Syrian artist Ahmad Mallah will take place on stage following the screening. Yalla Tnam (يالله تنام) is a ritual performance in which voice, movement, grief, care, and resilience come together. For the premiere of Final Cut, Mallah will present a solo excerpt from the original work, with live vocals and sound processing at the heart of the experience.
