THE REFUSERS
On a street corner in the city, a heap of dumped garbage surrounds two garbage containers. An old mattress begins to speak sadly: “They say I’m dirty…” Other pieces of garbage join in, sharing the reasons why they have been discarded. Then, a newspaper is picked up by the wind and seems to dance in the spotlight of a streetlamp. Inspired, the waste begins to see themselves positively. Their enthusiasm evolves into a spectacle of song and dance.

CHALLENGES OF A SOLITARY MIND
Why is it sometimes so difficult to be introverted? Why does society like to give the impression that it is always better to work in a group than alone, or to be in constant dialogue with others, and what is so bad about being silent together?

THIS ARROW POINTS
At some point, I stumbled across the sentence “How is it that the arrow points?”. Since then, this question, formulated by Ludwig Wittgenstein in his “Philosophical Investigations”, has stayed with me. The main theme of the “Investigations” is the principle that the meaning of an expression is its use in language. Modified from this, I am concerned with the task of how an expression acquires its meaning in cinematic use, especially when it comes to abstract source images. THIS ARROW POINTS is the first result of my “investigations” into this.

THEO & MARTIN
Flurina Schneider distills the charged interplay between Theo and Martin into an eponymous Super 8 film that is barely three minutes long while dispensing with sound entirely. Schneider captures the exploratory desire of Theo and Martin in feverish images with a camera that circles around their bodies. The images are fragmentary, like the sensuously experienced act of touching, briefly flaring before dissolving into the next instant of awakening desire. Vaguely recognisable places – including a bed, a couch, and a bathtub – become erotically charged, much like the red light in which the couple is enveloped. Explicit scenes of sexual acts are omitted, and yet these few minutes of film are brimming with erotic power, leaving no doubt about just how beautiful sex between men can be.
Austria 2025 / 2:58 / Director: Flurina Schneider
