Guest Curator – Samy Birnbach (AKA DJ Morpheus)
“My Top 3 cult movie scenes”
1 – Mick Jagger – Memo from Turner (from the movie Performance)
“One of my all time favorite movies, i saw it at least 7 times… There is a strong Borges (the writer) influence in there. One needs to see it at least 2 to 3 times as there is always stuff that is semi hidden and is becoming apparent/visible after watching it several times.”
2 – Eraserhead – Lady in the radiator (In Heaven)
“Another one of my favorites cult movies… I saw it many times already and never had enough, it’s just stunning…”
3 – Wings of Desire – Library scene
“A dreamlike movie, highly poetical… Wim Wenders used “When I go” from Minimal Compact in one of the scenes, he was a big fan and always mentioned us in his interviews.”
