Beatrice Zerbato (HaFi-Residency): An Excavation into Arsenal Filminstitut’s Programming History

Samuel Bich: FILE NOT FOUND - Arsenal Index

Samuel Bich studied art in Leipzig, Glasgow, and Vienna. He co-directs the project space oxfordberlin and founded the publisher Yours Sincerely. His practice explores exhibiting and publishing at the margins of institutions, investigating historiography, image production, and mediation. In 2024, he received the Cathrin Pichler Prize. His work has been shown at Halle für Kunst Lüneburg, Kunsthalle Wien, and Printed Matter, NY, and is held in the Getty Research Library and UdK Berlin Library.

Beatrice Zerbato holds a degree in Cinema Studies from the University of Turin and has worked as a photographer, archivist, and independent researcher. Her research treats archives as active tools, preserving stories and generating new relations and political imaginaries. Since 2023 she has lived in Palermo, co-curating Nuova Orfeo, an independent experimental cinema and music program, with its founder Beatrice Gibson, focused on non-commercial, forgotten, censored, or lesser-known works, with a feminist lens.
