* 1946 in Rosenbach (Carinthia).

Hubert Sielecki studied at Vienna’s Hochschule für angewandte Kunst and at the Film Academy in Łódź. He has been teaching at Vienna’s Universität für angewandte Kunst in Christian Ludwig Attersee’s Master Class for painting, animation film and tapestry since 1982 and also founded a studio for animation film under the guidance of Maria Lassnig.

Hubert Sielecki is a screenwriter, director, cinematographer, musician, sound technician, actor, draughtsman, painter. He makes auteur-films and mainly uses the techniques of animation film – that is to say the film chiefly results from exposure and processing of images. These images are either drawn or painted, or pictures of objects or people taken directly with the camera in single-frame fashion.

Hubert Sielecki has received numerous prizes and awards for his work both in Austria and internationally: Förderungspreis für Filmkunst (1985), Viennale-Preis (1988) and the first prize for the short film Air Fright at the Diagonale in Salzburg in 1996.

From 1989 to 1998 Hubert Sielecki produced eleven cinema commercials for the newspaper „Falter“ with his own production company „Animotion Films Vienna, as well as several other productions for various institutions, e.g. cooperation  with DoRo Produktion (music video) and EPO-Film, trailers for festivals and the curatorship of road safety and in 1999 a cinema commercial for Compaq in cooperation with Attersee’s Master Class.
 
In 1985 he founded ASIFA Austria, the Austrian section of the International Association for Animation Film ASIFA. From 1992 to 1996 he represented Austria at the EU Animation Film Organisation CARTOON in Brussels. Hubert Sielecki founded the film group A.S.K. in 1991, in which he works on no-budget projects with the artists Paul Braunsteiner and Luise Buisman. These films are produced without subsidies, only with the help of friends and without production costs.
 
In recent years he made films in cooperation with musicians (Hotle Palindrone) and authors (among others Karin Spielhofer, Gerhard Rühm, Antonio Fian).

Austria 2008, 6 min, language: without dialogue
Playing with collective memory and individual perception: as a professed football-philistine, Hubert Sielecki rapturously looks back at the European championship’s finale between Spain and Germany. And at the crucial scenes of a “natural spectacle”.
