The River spreads audiovisual material and creates an atmosphere that combines the narrative and aesthetic concepts within a photograph. The film was shot with an 82 years old camera and passed through processes of film destruction to obtain this particular light damage.

Phone Tapping
HeeWon Lee
South-Korea | 2009 | 10'20"
Korean with English, Italian subtitles
Italian premiere
The film is built up from that single, imperceptible instant that signals the shift from day to night, a fleeting moment in which what was, is no more, where things might acquire fresh significance. A voiceover guides us through the city, while the camera seems to be searching for a specific plot of land, for the coincidence between the narrative and the visual.

Cooked Snow
Zhu Xiaowen
USA, GER, CN | 2010 | 6'30"
German, English with German, English subtitles
Austrian premiere
The experimental video reflects the artist‘s personal experience with international identity, the confusion of language, the interaction between inner and outer environment, and the curiosity of self-discovering. Abstract and poetic imagery is generated in an instinctive way. The question is addressed, the answer is open. Comprehension is secondary to imagination.

An elderly man searches for happiness in old photos…. two worlds divided by the inability to dream...
O Inocente – Not Guilty
Thiago Luciano | Beto Schultz
BRA | 2009 | 18'14"
Portuguese with English subtitles

Guilt is the incapacity to deal with an error. A broken desire, the direct contact with human reality, against its perfectionist will. We build an enemy inside ourselves, that’s the imaginary ideal of how we should be and not how we really are.
Der Zusammenhang – The Correlation
Christian Höller
AUT | 2010 | 9'
German with English subtitles
Carinthian premiere
Der Zusammenhang is the multimedia- interpretation of an avantgarde Russian short story by Danjil Charms from 1937.

By using short everyday-life situations of different protagonists this film tells us about the arbitrary cross-linkings within human existence.

Die Gedanken sind Frei –
The Thoughts are Free
Gerda Lampalzer
AUT | 2011 | 3'
Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Slovenian with English subtitles
World premiere
Text from an old folk song, which has always been known for its characterisation of the battles for independence, is read out loud in four different languages and converted to the German sentence meaning “The thoughts are free”. A comment on the fact that – despite the Iron Curtain‘s fall decades ago – still hardly any Austrian (except the ones living in border regions) learns, speaks or understands the languages of the neighbouring countries.

Home
Francesco Filippi
IT | 2009 | 15'
Italian with German, English subtitles

A woman enters a mysterious, spooky house. Things happen and change depending on what she touches, or depending on what she… clicks! When she touches a small picture (an icon), a bigger one appears. And when she touches a brush, the living room immediately changes into a studio. Being scared and trapped inside of this house, the woman must find a way to get out.
Murmures – Murmers
Jean-Michel Rolland
FR | 2011 | 5'16"
no dialogue
World premiere
A series of murmers of different lengths, pictured by the lips of the whisperer, are reduced to four different notes, each spaced a semitone. In a logic of transmediality between sound and image those two media meet in this video. Equal to one another, influencing each other and only in combination they form a meaningful whole.

Herna
Josef Dabernig
AUT | 2011 | 17'
German with English, Italian subtitles
The austere dreariness of a gaming hall, which is located somewhere in the Czech Republic (though it could well be in any other European countries), and the promise of luck it offers to people with low incomes becomes dialectically intertwined with the artificial dialogue of a different social class. In Bruno Pellandini‘s radio play two women meet, in a pub two men invite them to a drink.
Paradise Later
Ascan Breuer
GER | 2011 | 13'20"
German with English subtitles
Carinthian premiere
A blink. As if the eyes had to adjust to the light, images appear in the glaring white and then disappear – withdrawing from our curious, greedy gaze. While we hear a travelling salesman reporting to his company’s managing board and the man’s doubts and complaints are becoming increasingly obvious, the camera follows the course of a lazy river on the edge of a large tropical city.
