The Liberated Film Club: Esther Kinsky

Close-Up is thrilled to welcome Esther Kinsky to programme and present this edition of the Liberated Film Club. Kinsky is the author of six volumes of poetry, five novels (Summer Resort, Banatsko, River, Grove, Rombo), numerous essays on language, poetry and translation and three children’s books. She has translated many notable English (John Clare, Henry David Thoreau, Iain Sinclair) and Polish (Joanna Bator, Miron Białoszewski, Magdalena Tulli) authors into German. Both River and Grove won numerous literary prizes in Germany. Seeing Further is her fourth book published by Fitzcarraldo Editions and documents the period she spent in rural Hungary establishing and running a cinema. By her own admission, Kinsky does not possess a screen, and “never watches anything outside of the cinema.”

No titles at the Liberated Film Club are announced in advance, and the films on show are unlikely to be seen anywhere else. No repeats, no documentation. For more information on the yearlong season click here
