Sinopsis

Kick That Habit is a 1989 film by PETER LIECHTI, an audio-visual portrait of his native country, eastern Switzerland. The film collects samples from the land-and-soundscape, underscoring in the process the oft-ignored industrial underpinning of our latter-day culture. Also native to eastern Switzerland is VOICE CRACK, the everyday household electronics duo of NORBERT MOSLANG and ANDY GUHL, whose musical workings are explored as part of Liechti s vision. Whether clicking quietly and rhythmically or humming and shrieking at ear-splitting volume, their recycled electronics produce innovative sounds and provide an appropriate accompaniment in this cinematic search for the detritus of our culture, the lost and destroyed remains of the last century of progress.

El gran silencio
En 1984 el director alemán Phillip Gröning pidió permiso a la Orden de los Cartujos para rodar una película en el interior de uno de sus monasterios. Le dijeron que era demasiado pronto. Quizás más adelante. Dieciséis años después recibió una llamada. Había llegado la hora... Los preparativos llevaron dos años, el rodaje uno y la postproducción dos más. Han transcurrido, por tanto, veintiún años hasta su completa finalización. El Gran Silencio muestra por primera vez el día a día dentro del "Grande Chartreuse", el monasterio de referencia en los Alpes franceses de la legendaria Orden de los Cartujos.

Algunos años después se extendería por todo el país su fama como promotora oficial de educación sexual con un programa de radio y televisión propios.
