Director: Johann Lurf

Practicing the unknown. A short film program in honor of the Austrian Director’s Guild thirty-year anniversary is screening debut works by wellknown Austrian directors. Evident in these works are both initial steps towards artistic self-expression and an incredible diversity of approaches to film as an art form. In ephemeral films beyond the industry’s exploitation logics, all liberties of the art form shimmer raw, unruly, and surprising.

This film would have been part of the program „Erste Schritte. 30 Jahre Verband Filmregie Österreich“ in the Diagonale’20 series In Reference.
