About the film
Set in candy tones the dark and deadpan stories of Anna McCarthy’s and fellow artist Paulina Nolte’s vegetarian TV series BLOODLESS are reacting to current travesties in a lost-in-reverie kind of way. With two wealthy overstrung ladies fretting over the soul of a luxury handbag the 1st episode BLOODLESS BOUTIQUE from 2019 set the tone for the sequel. Followed by BLOODLESS POOL in summer 2020 the third episode BLOODLESS BRANDHORST has been commissioned by Museum Brandhorst and will be premiered on the occasion of Kino der Kunst: ”Welcome to reality, Madame.”

About Kino der Kunst
As a unique combination of film festival and art exhibition, KINO DER KUNST explores the relationship between the visual arts and cinema; the programmatic focus is on how film artists deal with fiction and narrative.
This year’s international competition is dedicated to the theme of “Forbidden Beauty” and the question of why the concept of beauty is so frowned upon in contemporary art. On show will be cinematic works that use formal innovations and a highly aesthetic visual vocabulary, without losing sight of the serious issues of our time. The films will be shown in the cinemas of the HFF, City Kinos and Theatiner Filmkunst.
Museum Brandhorst will host the artists’ talks in 2020 for the third time, which will be held as part of KINO DER KUNST. The talks will be held in the Ernst von Siemens Auditorium at the Pinakothek der Moderne and will be available as a live stream on the Museum Brandhorst YouTube channel.
