The Endless Moment: The Painter Rolf Kuhlmann

  • Genre: Documentary
  • Run time: 135 min
  • Premiere: 2021. October 3.

German realist painter Rolf Kuhlmann is known for his complex, multilayered figures in compositions which evoke the world of dreams. In this remarkable documentary, director Claudia Schmid spends a year following the artist as he visits German forests, and ancient archeological sites and refugee camps in Greece. The Endless Moment documents the extraordinary creation of ambitious, large-scale double triptych paintings—from life studies to tactile three-dimensional objects—as the camera captures moments of conception, rumination, execution, and revision.
