SONNENFILM
Sonnenfilm simultaneously shows sunrise and sunset on the same day. The double exposure divides the image into two halves, with the horizon meeting in the centre of the frame. Two suns move in opposite directions through the image to leave it again at the same time.

SO STONES TALK TALK TALK
In April of 2022, I was walking on the beach in Porto, Portugal. It was a sunny morning, not too hot. An average weekday. The beach was empty. When you listened closely you could hear the stones talking.

MATTE STUDY
Matte Study was composed through a system of stencils or “mattes”, which act as the films visual and spatial script. The encounters and disparate ephemera which are pushed through the stencils’ fluctuating grid system, were documented over the course of a 12 hour day. Through this network of collected images, a puzzle of visual relationships form and encourage the roots of a new day to emerge.

T T T TOUCH ME
Typing, pressing, striking, swiping – finger movements that are not carried out on the touchscreen of a smartphone, but instead on naked skin. The filmmaker investigates the transformation of perception and communication in the digital era – on analogue film. A haptic visual experience, which makes the loss of analogue qualities tangible .

TIRANA
An afternoon filming in Tirana, Albania; going up and down the pyramid. Kids are observed through an admiring gaze. They proudly show us their urban playground, climbing to the top, ruling their city.

2HEIM
The location of this film was our neighbourhood and house on the outskirts of Vienna. In about a year we turned this place into a home. This film was made during the last months I was living there; time was speeding up and days were running out.

A PROPOSAL TO PROJECT IN 4:3
A homemade screen in the middle of a vast, green landscape. The surrounding trees and bushes appear as dancing shadows on the projection area. Natural cinema – without a dark movie theatre, artificial illusion, or film. Plato’s caveman left his dark dungeon – and is still ecstatic.
Austria, United States 2016 / 16 mm / 2:00 / Director: Viktoria Schmid
W O W (KODAK)
An apocalyptic scene of destruction that runs in reverse: The dust flows back into the centre of the image, bits of debris put themselves together, a building erects itself. Five YouTube clips played backwards, five different perspectives – Viktoria Schmid’s commentary on film culture: film is dead – long live film!
Austria 2016 / 35 mm / 2:00 / Director: Viktoria Schmid
AUSTRIAN PAVILION
The filmmaker continues his architectural examinations of exhibition sites, using specially constructed cameras to capture the interior and exterior of his country’s national arts pavilion at the Venice Biennale.

One 35 mm cinema film and the Atlantic – simultaneous fulfilment of two desires.
