参加作品

Am Rande des Vorhangs
Director
A place essentially bound up with dismal memories and the smell of old leather and sweat becomes a stage for enraptured performances. The setting and habitat of At the Edge of the Curtain is a gymnasium. Its occupants: three women whose relationships and states of desire are as multiple and ambivalent as their selves are amorphous and fragmented. Subjectivities circulate, but their bodies persist in stasis.
Dear Darkness
Writer
The white, gray and black rooms of a common past and the separate present, the surrounding dreams and fantasies about one‘s own life and the lives of others: when Olga, Yvonne and Manon - three former best friends meet again after twenty years, the facades of their life contracts are removed layer by layer. But they separate again before the résumés collapse.

Oceano Mare
Editor
Seemingly stranded and enthralled like a somnambulist: a female figure amid a rocky, dried-up riverbed. Motionless, exposed, and yet turned inward. Now entwined in the branches of the sparse vegetation, now lying on the delicate fissures of the parched ground, from these convergences and from the interplay of images arises a sort of approximation, or analogy.

The Seismic Form
Director
'The Seismic Form' is based on a text by Jean Baudrillard, edited down to a few sentences in line with Zwirchmayr's elliptical and suggestive aesthetics, and read out in three different languages with selective subtitles. The French theoretician combines the interest in the phenomena of nature with a cultural narrative and a critique of civilisation.
Jean Luc Nancy
Director
The full moon on the black night sky, a swinging pendulum, constellations, three women seen from behind, an ensemble of sparking crystals, half-transparent stripes in motion, light plays in black-and-white and in color. Images, perspectives, bodies, spaces, worlds set in relation to one another. Or, in other words: cinema. Concrete and abstract, sensual and theoretical, thought out and felt JEAN LUC NANCY the complex essence of cinema: as dispositive, as medium, as work body, as aesthetic experience, and as sensual site of encounter and tenderness – fleeting, moving, illuminating, touching.
The Shadow of Utopia
Director
In my memory, Brazil is a film with few images and long stretches of darkness. While the screen remains black, my fears and longings are projected onto it, combining the images and attempting to give them meaning. Brazil has wormed its way into my imagination in a form the country has never assumed in real life.
What I Remember
Director
With What I Remember, filmmaker Antoinette Zwirchmayr revisits her family’s history and her own memories to create a 35 mm visual and aural jigsaw in three mysterious sensorial chapters.
Venus Delta
Director
Antoinette Zwirchmayr’s dreamlike Venus Delta offers a precisely composed and somewhat eerie miniature of jagged rock formations, a crystalline water stream, and the form of a woman suggested by smooth skin and a voluminous, crimped mane.
In Its Form Asleep
Director
Antoinette Zwirchmayr's serenely composed images create a calm, surrealistic atmosphere of transformation. As if time were suspended, her still lives linger with lucid clarity in a state between dream and consciousness. A male body, seen through the filmmaker's lens, reveals abstract, sculpted forms reminiscent of classical statues. Breathing softly, the dreamer is alive. The quail eggs resting atop his upper legs conjure up thoughts of birth and rebirth (through sleep). While the images seem to be corresponding silently with one another in a dreamlike logic, the film projector hums, shedding light on interior and exterior and back again.
Josef: My Fathers Criminal Record
Writer
Together with a friend, 17-year old Josef robs a bank and gets caught. A few weeks later he is released from prison and returns to his home village. Faced with the difficulty of having to deal with the villagers' open contempt, he runs away to Brazil.

House and Universe
Director
The contemplative serenity Antoinette Zwirchmayr creates in House and Universe is offset by notions of restlessness and unease, that the images of a dormant, naked young woman – alter- natingly shown in a sparse, bright motel room and the blooming desert landscape outside – provide. Shown only in fragments, the sleeper seems blissfully unconnected to her surroundings. Tinged in warm sunlight, yet subtly charged with associations of isolation and vulnerability, the film presents a dreamlike, almost hallucinogenic portrayal of a person in a state of transcendence.
The Pimp and His Trophies
Director
No Return No Return
Director
This film acts as a childhood memory, playful and full of discovery, transformation, tenderness and melancholy. It opens with a clear image: we see geometric shapes, accompanied by a pair of hands, probably feminine. The hands fold the paper. A torso dressed in a romantic yellow dress emerges halfway out of the blue water and moves gently back and forth. Suddenly, countless small yellow paper boats float around the figure.

Dry Shampoo
Director
Dry shampoo - for in-between. Dry shampoo is the ideal dry wash between normal shampoos. The hairstyle is preserved, is fresh from the ground up and plenty again. It is best not to wait until the hair is stringy. Application: 1.) Brush the hair thoroughly. 2.) Spray evenly and economical from a distance of 20cm on every strand of hair. 3.) Rub the hair with a towel and carefully and thoroughly brush out the shampoo.
