Grandiose open-air cinema: flip book premiere on the Liebschützberg!
A very special event will take place on September 6th in the picturesque setting of the Liebschützberg: Volker Gerling invites you to an open-air cinema of a slightly different kind. At 8:30 p.m., visitors will be able to enjoy flip books, which will be presented live on a large screen. This is a creative type of “film” in which small booklets play a short scene as you leaf through them. Particularly exciting: Since 2005, Gerling has dedicated himself to the motifs of his flip books while hiking, proving that art and nature can harmonize wonderfully. This is reported by the LVZ.
The special thing about this event is not only the creative format, but also the atmosphere that the Liebschützberg offers. The Liebschützberg interest group, which was founded in 2016 and is part of the Klötitz local history and sports club, ensures the well-being of visitors. Benches and catering are available to make the evening completely pleasant. Visitors are also welcome to bring their own camping chairs, seat cushions or blankets to make themselves comfortable.
Cultural commitment on Liebschützberg
The interest group is not only committed to such events, but also promotes the maintenance and cultural revitalization of the area around the historic post mill. A number of projects have already been realized in recent years, including a rest area with a weather shelter and a sociable stamping point for pilgrims. A cultural event is also organized once a year to bring the local community together.
Gerling himself has built an important bridge between tradition and modernity with his work. The history of the flip book dates back to the 18th century, when it was created as a simple optical toy. Around 1868, the English printer John Barnes Linnett registered the first patent under the name Kineograph. The art form has developed over time; in Germany, the Skladanowsky brothers have been closely linked to the history of German film since 1895 by selling projection machines and peel-off books with film images, such as the Page of the Potsdam Film Museum explained.
Gerling has made a name for himself as a flip-book photographer and offers his results in a variety of formats: from cinema programs with narrators to traveling exhibitions and photographic essays. The small everyday moments that he captures in his films are particularly impressive. This combination of photography and entertaining stories makes his works a special experience.
For everyone who cannot escape this unique event on the Liebschützberg, there is the opportunity to immerse themselves in another world and experience the extremely creative side of the traditional flip book in a modern light. It's only right to secure a place for yourself with a cozy pillow - and just let your mind wander.
