TRAIN AGAIN

Peter Tscherkassky
Austria
20 min.

Constructed as a homage to avant-garde filmmaker Kurt Kren and his masterpiece, “37/78 Tree Again”, “Train Again” sees Peter Tscherkassky delve once more into the depths of cinema history, revealing its inherent brutality.

The newest film directed by found footage cinema virtuoso Peter Tscherkassky starts off from one of the primordial images of cinematography – that of the train – in order to decompose its very molecular fiber: the film reel itself. It’s the most frontal such approach in Tscherkassky’s recent oeuvre, an artist well-known for his preoccupation for the materiality of cinema in an age in which it is increasingly vanishing, while also touching upon the terrain of western films, one of his well-known leitmotifs – which he also explored in his already-classical “Instructions for a Light and Sound Machine” (2005). (Flavia Dima)

MISTY PICTURE

Christoph Girardet & Matthias Müller | Durata 16 min.

Before the Twin Towers collapsed on 9/11, their image had turned into a visual leitmotif (or cliché) of films set in New York City throughout the 80s and 90s. In their latest found footage short, Giradet and Müller create a vast collage of such shots across a myriad of genres.
