Join us for another instalment in FADO’s Walk-And-Talk performance series.

Free, all welcome.

Clint Enns takes us on a cinematic Walk-And-Talk through the work of Karl Grune’s 1923 film, Die Strasse, narrating the film as a performative-intervention.

Enns’ Die Strasse [Back Alley Edit] re-imagines Karl Grune’s 1923 Die Strasse as a walking film. The film follows movements of a man who leaves his home and drifts through the city at night, each step carrying him deeper into the dangers of the street. Cinema as walk, narrative as restless wandering.

The artist’s reworking intervenes in this walk by adding a textual element and voice, shifting the film from “silent walkie” to “talkie.” A detour[nement] where new stories emerge in motion.

Clint Enns is a visual artist, writer, and curator living in Tiohtià:ke / Montréal. His post-cinematic practice consists of reworking existing films, disrupting their conventional narratives and forms. His interventions destabilize the cinematic image, turning familiar works into sites of critical play and reinterpretation. By appropriating and manipulating filmic material, Enns challenges the permanence of cinema as a fixed cultural object, presenting it as malleable, thinking though the ways moving images persist, mutate, and circulate in a post-cinematic landscape shaped by digital technologies and remix culture.
