"Helnwein - The Silence of Innocence"
Claudia Schmid
Claudia Schmid, Germany 2009, Documentary about Gottfried Helnwein, 116 Min.
Gottfried Helnwein is an artist of clear statements, uninhibited and idiosyncratic. He confronts us with the dark sides of human nature. Silently but mercilessly he uses the fate of the innocent child to bring before our eyes the human capacity for suffering, making the beholder a passive, and indeed active, accomplice to injury and abuse. Helnwein is one of the world’s best-known and at the same time most controversial German-speaking artists of the post-war period. Helnwein is an artist who thinks in political terms, analyzing present and historical world events and revealing, there too, the structures of power and violence. All his life he has addressed the issue of the cruel mechanisms of the Nazi period. His pictures are an ongoing appeal against collective amnesia, deliberate or otherwise.

Ninth November Night
A Documentary about the Art of Gottfried Helnwein
…when someone is willing to take on the sadness, the irony, the ugliness and the beauty in the kind of way that Helnwein does.
Sean Penn
Sean Penn talks about the Art of Gottfried Helnwein
"Well, the world is a haunted house, and Helnwein at times is our tour guide through it. I think in anything that is really relevant and emotional art, there is some kind of a mirror that people experience. I don't think that you can recognize a feeling from something that you look at unless it's part of yourself, and so when someone is willing to take on the sadness, the irony, the ugliness and the beauty in the kind of way that Gottfried Helnwein does. Not all of Gottfried's work is on a canvas. A lot of it is the way he's approached life. And it doesn't take someone knowing him to know that. You take one look at the paintings and you say "this guy has been around." You can't sit in a closet - and create this. This level of work is earned." Sean Penn

Trailer - Die Stille der Unschuld: Der Künstler Gottfried Helnwein
Gottfried Helnwein zählt zu den umstrittensten Gegenwartskünstlern. Seine Bilder von körperlich und seelisch misshandelten Kindern verstören mit ihrer Schockästhetik. Claudia Schmid hat Helnwein über zwei Jahre begleitet und ein intensives Porträt über einen Kompromisslosen geschaffen.

When Gottfried Met Hanoch
George Robinson
‘Dreaming Child’ an engaging yet frustrating look at a Holocaust-themed collaboration.
We see the painter and designer jousting with the lighting designer over what will prove to be Helnwein’s greatest coup de theater, a hypnotic final-act tableau of dozens of “dead children” suspended in black space. This time there can be little doubt that Helnwein’s judgment is correct; even on screen the effect is startling and eerily beautiful.

Der Film ergründet den aufregenden Gegenwartskunstmarkt und dessen Ausnahmestellung an Bekanntheit, Nachfrage und oft irrationalen Preisen.
Die in NY, London, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Köln, Venedig, Wien, Niederösterreich und Salzburg gedrehte Dokumentation zeigt in noch nie gesehener Vierkamera-HD-Qualität Exponate der Gegenwartskunst der letzten 30 Jahre mit Werken von: Warhol, Richter, Pollock, Koons, Kiefer, Baselitz, Nitsch, Helnwein u.v.a.m. "Meine eindrucksvollste Begegnung hatte ich mit meinem Jugendidol Gottfried Helnwein", schwärmt Schalle, der selbst als Autor, Regisseur und Komponist der Filmmusik verantwortlich zeichnet.

Gottfried Helnwein and The Dreaming Child
Kylah Magee
The collaboration between Helnwein and the late poet and playwright Hanoch Levin is at the center of this documentary. Helnwein is hired as the production designer for an Israeli opera adaptation of Levin’s play, Dreaming Child. While the two had never met when Levin was alive, the opportunity to meld their work seems almost serendipitous. Helnwein believes their artistic vision is so much the same that he is obligated to stay true to Levin’s work. Director Lisa Kirk Colburn does an excellent job of portraying the process of an original opera production, particularly from the eyes of Helnwein, the production designer chosen specifically for the perspicacity he has for his art form.

Gottfried Helnwein and The Dreaming Child
Alex Peterson
by Lisa Kirk Colburn
As its title suggests, Gottfried Helnwein and the Dreaming Child chooses to focus on the Austrian art superstar that the Opera brought in to make its sets and costumes. The movie’s fortunate that said superstar, an eccentric with a thick Werner Herzog accent is as good as he is at painting.

Gottfried Helnwein and the Dreaming Child
Jonathan Kiefer
First Run Features - Directed by Lisa Kirk Colburn
When the powers behind the 2010 Tel Aviv production of Hanoch Levin's Holocaust opera The Child Dreams sought a designer, it seemed like plain sailing to bring on the Austrian provocateur Gottfried Helnwein, distinguished alumnus of what he calls "the same academy that rejected Adolf Hitler twice—which is, of course, the biggest mistake that any university has ever made in history."

Gottfried Helnwein: Der Maler und sein Holocaust-Mahnmal für L.A.
Claudia Teissig
Treffpunkt Kultur: Neunter November Nacht
ORF, Treffpunkt Kultur, 3. November, um 22.30 Uhr, Barbara Rett prasentiert: Gottfried Helnwein: Der Maler und sein Holocaust-Mahnmal für L.A. Ein Film von Claudia Teissig. Schock-Therapeut: Gottfried Helnwein 50 Jahre nach der Reichspogrom-Nacht - im November 1988 - ließ Österreichs Schockmaler Gottfried Helnwein vor dem Kölner Dom auf eigene Kosten eine Galerie des Schreckens errichten. Hundert Meter lang, jedes der Bilder vier Meter hoch: Fotos von Vier- bis Achtjährigen - der Tod in ihre bleichen Gesichter geschrieben. Kaum war die Bilderstraße errichtet, kam es zu den ersten Beschädigungen. Nun stellt Helnwein seine künstlerische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Holocaust in seiner Wahlheimat Los Angeles aus. Dort fühlt Helnwein sich am "äußersten Punkt im Prozess des Untergangs des Abendlandes" angekommen - und sieht die Stadt als Herausforderung. Für 2004 bereitet er eine große Retrospektive in Pekings "verbotener Stadt" vor. TREFFPUNKT KULTUR hat den Maler in L.A. besucht.
