Moving closer to the ground, getting to the bottom of things, looking and hearing with precision, perceiving what’s happening close by, oft-unnoticed: these are the ideas that inform the 17th edition of Forum Expanded and the selection of films, installations and performances that will be presented as part of the Berlinale.

In this special joint Modern Mondays/To Save and Project screening, Christopher Harris presents the world premiere of his 2000/01 film still/here in a new digital restoration by the Academy Film Archive, together with his own newly conceived selection of work by filmmakers and artists who have inspired him.

The Gold Medal for "Frozen Out" is the first award given to a student artist based in Iowa, and a first- time honor for the University of Iowa.
