Wednesday 7 September 2005, 19.00

Programme duration 100'

In conjunction with Open Systems: Rethinking Art c.1970, this programme, curated by Maxa Zoller, focuses on various attempts by continental European filmmakers to reveal and explore the inherent systems of making and viewing film. While many artists of the time radically rethought the object of art, these filmmakers shattered traditional notions about film and developed new and often witty film languages based on linguistic and perceptual structures. Tracing the development from a materialist approach to film in the late 1960s to an increasingly formal film language in the early 1970s, the programme includes single and multiple-projection work by Lutz Mommartz, Birgit and Wilhelm Hein, Kurt Kren, Wojciech Bruszewski, Hans Scheugl and Ernst Schmidt Jr.
