In May 2014, one program item was devoted to the work of Friedl vom Gröller (known as Friedl Kubelka as a photographer), who has created a cinematographic œuvre in a comparatively short time, the richness of which stems from both the multiplicity of her works and the reduction of her means. The three-part event - a cooperation between A…

Roee Rosen is a person who appears in many guises and tempts speculation. Over several years, he worked in several forms of media expression (painting, book, film/Two Women and a Man) on a feminist prototype with the name Justine Frank, who appeared in the surrealist environment in Paris in the 1920s, had an affair with George Bataille, among othe…

The evening begins with two early documentary videos by Yael Bartana, which express her critical attitude towards the everyday rituals and ceremonies of the Israeli population.
Out of "disappointed love" for her homeland, which she perceives as a huge ghetto, the artist switched to fictional works.
Her Polish Trilogy, which was subsequently shown, …

In recent years, young Canadian experimental filmmaking has attracted increased international attention. The epicentre of this new development is Montréal, where twelve filmmakers joined forces in 2004 to form the Double Negative Collective. The collective's artists are united by the common goal of finding a radically personal film language…

In Joost Rekveld's abstract films, the clarity and logic of construction takes the place of emotional gesture. In his lecture on the poetry of light and his working method, he will explain that his conceptually mature works must also be visually fascinating. The colours and forms in the works of filmmakers like Paul Sharits, Jordan Belson and espe…

Miranda Pennell, originally a trained dancer, creates not only a dance in the image in her video work, but also a dance with the image - from upset situations to still moments that are able to contrast and emphasise the movement. The dancing people are never on their own - they dance for and with the camera. As a dancer, Pennell's affinity for rhy…

Eve Heller's films are characterised by a fleetingness that you want to hold on to, that constantly lets your gaze slip away - similar to the clear yet fragmented images of a dream. Shimmering light, multiple exposures, the grain of the emulsion (greatly magnified by the optical printer), and sometimes slowed down movements emphasise this effect.

Lis Rhodes is one of the central artists in British experimental film since the early 1970s and yet has been presented in this country with only a few works. She was Cinema Curator at the London Filmmakers' Co-op, and in 1979 also co-founded Circles, the first distributor of films and videos by women, later called Cinenova. This commitment to wome…

With his first film The Flicker, Tony Conrad produced an authoritative work of structural film in 1966 and became a central figure of the US avantgarde. By focusing on the film material itself and the media-specific conditions of the cinematic apparatus, the viewer's attention is drawn to his or her own perceptual processes. The rhythmic puls…

Ivan Ladislav Galeta from Zagreb is the neo-platonist among the directors of European experimental film. Behind the clear, mathematically abstract, frame-by-frame, meticulously rhythmically built structure of his films and video works, all of which are at the same time analyses of the medium film, Galeta conceals a veritable chamber of wonders: he…
