Film screenings of "Conversation with Albert Knoll"

Gespräch mit Albert Knoll

by Philipp Gufler

2023, 25 min.
Camera: Leo van Kann
Production: Forum Queeres Archiv München e.V.

For some time now I wanted to shoot a short film about Albert Knoll's tireless self-organized historical work and ask him why he has dedicated a large part of his life to commemorating the crimes against humanity committed during the Nazi dictatorship and what this archival work has done to him. A special focus is on oral history, as I am interested in how, as a conversational partner, one preserves their knowledge and experiences in a certain way after the death of the contemporary witnesses. After Albert Knoll has done so many contemporary witness interviews the last thirty years and was the one who asked the questions, I reversed the situation in the short film and interviewed him.

From September, the art space Lothringer 13 Halle presents the project On Listening, which brings together international artists, researchers, activists, audio, archival material, theorists to question the dynamics of spoken and auditive narratives as well as listening. Together, the contributions and works explore the relevance and complexity of listening from multiple perspectives and open the exhibition space for conversation and exchange.    

For the project "On Listening" Philipp Gufler, artist and long-time active member of the Forum Queeres Archiv München (FQAM) realized a cinematic portrait of Albert Knoll's decades of archival and research work with a focus on Albert Knoll's self-initiated interviews with witnesses. Albert Knoll is a founding member of the Forum and has been on the board ever since. This new short film, together with selected archive material, provides a very personal and deep insight into Knoll's historical work as well as his commitment to the association with a focus on oral history(s) and witnessing.
