Concerts, performances and gala
We are expanding the field of perception: with the section Live—which draws on the concept of Expanded Cinema developed in the 1960s and 1970s—we go beyond the classic screen and present live performances, film concerts, or cinematic installations.
Once again this year, (Live) Events will provide the framework and space for our festival to honor excellence (Gala), engage in stimulating discussions (Special Events), expand our perception (performances by Sophie Watzlawick & Billy Roisz), and celebrate the diversity of short film—both metaphorically and literally! Look forward to parties at Celeste and Funkhaus (Nights), or to open-air Panels on the summer stage at MuseumsQuartier, to explore questions of documentary responsibility—together with The New York Times, for example.
