One long night with 22 films, a live performance and Q and As: This is the Experimental Night of VIS Vienna Independent Shorts 2009.
In film and video-art the face has always been considered a popular motif. The approaches that come together in Faces (at 7 p.m.) couldn’t be more diverse: from the structural short film montage of Kren and Schmidt jr., the near motionless portrait that turns out not to be motionless at all (vom Grüller/Goldt), the precise and humorous montage of advert-gems (Kubelka) to painted and computer generated animations (Lassnig/Bruckmayr) and the observing of people in ecstasy and highest concentration (Russell/Dijkstra). One thing is true for all of these: faces tell stories.
The eight experimental films of the International Competition 5 (at 9 p.m.) represent the delight in decoding cinematic methods, visualising peculiarities of the film language and dealing with found film material. Just before the interval the programme is complemented by the live performance LANDED TAKES & SOUND TIMES by Andreas Gogol (music) and Telemach Wiesinger (film).
The International Competition 5 is followed by a special programme with free entry:
Wer Meer sehen will.
