Bad Painter NorCal Premiere Directed by Albert Oehlen Starring Udo Kier, Kim Gordon, Charlotte Taschen Albert Oehlen deconstructs the artist’s portrait by blurring reality and artifice. Directed by Oehlen from behind the lens, Udo Kier plays the artist in a fictionalized version of Oehlen’s own life, while Kim Gordon provides the “inner voice.” Together, they navigate the friction between creative motivation and an all-consuming art world. (80 min. Germany, USA / 2025. English and some German with English subtitles)
