Thirty years after his death, Joseph Beuys still feels like a visionary and is widely considered one of the most influential artists of his Generation --among others impacting Christoph Schlingensief, who will be featured in GOETHE FILMS in May. Known for his contributions to the Fluxus movement and his work across diverse media — from happenings and performance to sculpture, installation, and graphic art — Beuys’ expanded concept of the role of the artist places him in the middle of socially relevant discourses on media, community, and capitalism. Using previously untapped visual and audio sources, director Andres Veiel (IF NOT US, WHO) has created a one-of-a-kind chronicle: BEUYS (trailer) is not a portrait in the traditional sense, but an intimate and in-depth look at a human being, his art and ideas, and the way they have impacted the world.
