Belvedere Hosts Premiere of Documentary on Erika Giovanna Klien
The Belvedere in Vienna is hosting the premiere screening of the research-based film 'Looking for E.G.K.' by filmmakers Elena Goatelli and Angel Esteban. The documentary traces the life and work of Austrian artist Erika Giovanna Klien, a key figure of the Vienna Kineticism movement. Since 2023, the filmmakers have followed Klien's life stations from her birthplace in Borgo Valsugana (now in Trentino, Italy) to Vienna and Salzburg, and finally to New York, where she lived from 1929. The film offers insights into Klien's life and reception history, as well as the adventurous rediscovery of her oeuvre, interwoven with current research findings. The screening will be followed by a discussion with the filmmakers. Admission is free, but a ticket is required.
