After 25 years of restoration, the Dresden State Art Collections are presenting the completely rebuilt Damascus Room for the first time. The richly decorated reception room is considered a unique example of Syrian decorative art and is to once again become a place of encounter in Dresden.

The documentary, made in close cooperation with the museum, reflects on the history of the Damascus Room and its extensive restoration. The film poses the question of what the presentation of a historical reception room means for a museum of the present.

The GEGENkino Festival is an annual international film festival in Leipzig since 2014. Working collectively and driven by cinephile passion, it aims to challenge entrenched viewing habits with unusual perceptions. The presentation of film and video art goes beyond a classical screening.

In 2022, the festival screened the Japanese silent film classic A page of madness, narrated live and set to music by benshi Ichiro Kataoka and pianist Reiko Emura. In the preceding panel discussion, the profession as a benshi was discussed, but also the Kataoka Record Project. Kataoka had given his collection of 3900 Japanese shellac records to the University of Bonn in 2012. The worldwide unique collection includes records from the years 1915 to 1950, mainly from the film and entertainment culture of Japan of those years.

We filmed the panel discussion as well as impressions from the live scoring and created a documentary of the evening.

Heinze regularly organises lecture days to promote innovation and progress in the building sector and to foster dialogue between actors from science and industry. The second virtual edition of the ArchitekTOUR series is themed Alpine Architecture.

The videos we produced present architects from the Alpine region and their realised projects.

At the international conference Bauhaus sammeln, curators, collectors, art historians, mediators, and museum people are invited to Dessau to exchange ideas about the globally scattered object and collection histories of the Bauhaus.

The interview series we created (3 questions for...) presents their perspectives on the Bauhaus in short interviews.

The Bauhaus Archive Berlin, the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation and the Klassik Stiftung Weimar are the institutions with the three largest Bauhaus collections in the world. However, the Bauhaus is not only a national heritage, but also an international one. Bauhaus objects and collections are scattered all over the world. The closure of the Bauhaus by the National Socialists, the defamation of their works as "entartet", fleeing and emigration have led to Bauhaus objects being collected worldwide.

The international conference Collecting Bauhaus from December 2 - 5, 2019 shows that the new Bauhaus Museum Dessau is part of a worldwide network of museums with Bauhaus collections. The participants exchanged views on the multifaceted provenances of the collections as well as the different exhibition and mediation strategies and, based on this, discussed questions of a global Bauhaus historiography. And finally, it was important to think about how the global interconnections can be made fruitful for a Bauhaus museum in the 21st century.

We documented the conference and edited lecture and discussion sequences from it.
