Tradition and modernity, contrasting ways of life: the master of archival footage has assembled an impressive collection. His serene narration takes us inside the private lives of migrant families in different eras, from the beginnings of film to the present day. This new film from one of the great avant-garde directors is also a powerful tribute to a neglected genre.

Travelogues can also contain “mini-dramas”: this is what the “pocket films” of Notes and Sketches I (2005-15) reveal. Surprising behavioural 
studies of man and animal, the hidden humour of nature’s phenomena as well as of automatized routines make good entertainment for your 
home cinema and for all ages.

Trece pinturas de Edward Hopper cobran vida para contarnos la historia de una mujer que vive una realidad que no acepta. Shirley es una mujer atractiva, carismática, comprometida y emancipada a la que le hubiese gustado cambiar el curso de la historia a través de su involucración profesional y sociopolítica. Una mujer que no acepta la realidad de la época que le ha tocado vivir - la América de los años 30 a los años 60 - y que se afianzará firmemente a sus convicciones.

An anthology of one-minute films created by 60 international filmmakers on the theme of the death of cinema. Intended as an ode to 35mm, the film was screened one time only on a purpose-built 20x12 meter public cinema screen in the Port of Tallinn, Estonia, on 22 December 2011. A special projector was constructed for the event which allowed the actual filmstrip to be burnt at the same time as the film was shown.

Drama fílmico en cinco actos que toma uno de los temas más antiguos del cine y de la humanidad: la batalla de los sexos. Desde el nacimiento del universo y el mundo, a través de la cooperación y el enfrentamiento entre los dioses y las diosas de la creación; a través de la coexistencia del hombre y la mujer en el Paraíso; a través del deseo, el amor, los celos y el odio entre sexos a la luz de Eros; hasta la escalada de su violenta subyugación y explotación en la guerra y la pornografía en el espejo de Thanatos; hasta las soluciones ofrecidas por la sabiduría, la religión y la política en El banquete de Platón: imágenes fílmicas de las primeras cuatro décadas y media del cine que han sido halladas mediante una exhaustiva investigación, y compiladas en secuencias e historias visuales con nuevos significados.

Twenty-eight well-known filmmakers living and working in Austria were invited by WIENER MOZARTJAHR 2006, to produce associative miniatures on Mozart. Requirement: they had to be one-minute artistic short films. The directors come from a whole range of different backgrounds, ranging from animated, experimental and short film to documentaries and feature films. The result is a multi-facetted sampler of diverse formal and contextual positions with regard to Mozart’s person and his influence on today’s society, art and culture. The contributions run the gamut from experimental-conceptual statements through socio-critical and documentary observations to pithy short feature films.

In Gustav Deutsch's most recent found footage work the masses "absorb" (Walter Benjamin), the artwork. Three historical camera pans across the streets and squares of Vienna, Surabaya, and Porto provide a starting point for reflection on the relationship of everyday stories and cinematic machinery.

The pictures are burning. A house is in flames for exactly one minute. Cinema under attack: An anonymous fragment from the early days of film is turned into a reflection on reproduction and reality as well as on destruction which takes place on two levels through Gustav Deutsch’s reworking of the material.

100 film loops for 100 film-viewers. Each loop deals with one basic aspect of repetition in life and film. The essential characteristics of each aspect become evident by endless repetition in the loop. "With the Pocket Cinema project I want to trace the repetitions in life and film as an attempt at the essential elements of film - motion and time.

Mariage Blanc in Morocco means a sham marriage between a Moroccan man and a European woman in order to obtain a residence permit and thereafter the citizenship of a European country.

A film-experiment in six hundred takes, three seconds each, of a European's private images in Africa and of an African's images in Europe. A mutual perception of the one's and the other's native place.

ADRIA is an artistic analysis of film as a medium and of its meaning as SCHOOL OF SEEING. The subjects of this analysis are the beginnings of the Austrian hobby and amateur film creation, restricted to holiday movies from the Adriatic Sea. The footage was analyzed according to set focal points (image detail, camera movement, etc.) then dissected according to serial aspects (tracking shots, pans, etc.) and edited into new sequences (descriptions, reactions, etc.) These sequences are liberated from their individual isolation and unified in a sequence that reflects the general situation. This general situation reflects upon two aspects. One is the first active involvement with film as a medium - in front of and behind the camera - and the other aspect highlights social contexts such as the first holiday abroad and organizing one’s leisure time.Therefore the private depiction of an individual situation becomes a document of a general situation.
