Dada Changed My Life (2003)
Dada Hits New York
After being censored at the IVAM in Valencia Spain, world premiering criticizing its censorship with a prologue performance by the Equipo Vórtice calling for the resignation of several politicians and Spanish television directors at the 2nd Valencia Biennial,
"Dada Changed My Life" hits the screen in New York.
This experimental work about the two-month international call by a group of artists to rescue the legendary Cabaret Voltaire (cradle of DADA: the most influential movement in contemporary art history), 86 years after its founding, from its imminent transformation into luxury apartments and a pharmacy has been awarded for
Best Documentary at the DV Awards 2003 in Utah and received an Honorable Mention at the FOC Cinema in Castellón, Spain.
To date it has been selected to participate in the Raindance Film Festival in London, UK and five festivals in Spain: Festivalito International Digital Cine Festival of La Palma, Canary Islands; the Carmona Film Fest in Sevilla; Visual 03 in Madrid; Cádiz.doc in Cádiz and Eurovideo in Málaga.

“DADA DADA DA…”
Leave your expectations at the door and prepare for a tour de force of anti-art nonsense. New York-based filmmaker Olga Mazurkiewicz, presents an absurdist journey through DADA with “Dada Changed My Life”
(29 min.): a cinematic escapade of a group of armed artists’ (Fondation Kroesus) fight to revive the spirit of Dada and save the legendary Cabaret Voltaire (cradle of DADA) from oblivion.
Produced by Opus No Media, directed by Daniel Martinez (Spain), Olga Mazurkiewicz (USA), and Lou Lou (Switzerland). Followed by “German Dada”
(56 min.): a collage of art, music and poetry; not only an alphabet of German Dadaism, but a true Dadaist experience; produced and directed by Helmut Herbst; and “Ghosts Before Breakfast”
(6 min.): a grotesque, preposterous comedy about everyday objects rebelling against their daily routine and defiling all social conventions; produced and directed by Hans Richter. Incorporating the elements of chance with live intermittent spurts of irrationality and bushwa mayhem by DADAnewyork.
