Lab - Experiment and New Ways

An enthralling one-shot dramatization of the never-committed murder of Klaus Kinski during the legendary shooting of Werner Herzog’s Fitzcarraldo, a touching existential drama produced wholly in the virtual environment of the popular videogame Grand Theft Auto 5, an imaginative acoustic reconstruction of the famous Psycho shower scene, a silent poem on the inevitability of death in which shots of bleak landscape blend with surreal animated sequences reminiscent of works by Terry Gilliam, a cheerfully colorful musical film on the fundamental consubstantiality of sound and picture, or a dusky meditation on life after death, both inner and outer sacred landscapes and the alluring voice of the Devil’s Tower, the unmistakable silhouette of which has been stamped into our collective imagery by Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind... All these and many more await you in this year’s edition of the section that traditionally focuses on the newest short films from all corners of the world which hover between cinematic experiments and conventional live-action films, short films that use novel narrative techniques and means of expression and which place less emphasis on storytelling and more on the pure joy of watching and the primal power of moving pictures. This part of the festival programme is meant for those who are looking for a more immersive and contemplative experience and who consume films to refresh and expand their everyday sphere of perception.
