Ohne Titel
Austria 2003, 3 min
director: Johann Lurf
Emerging from the screen’s blackness, a small image appears at its lower edge. A young boy sits in a train clattering out of the station. Shortly after that another film image is visible at the upper edge: A man catches his wife cheating on him. More and more scenes appear until the screen fills with 12 sections. A different film is being shown in each one.
