Diagonale’s Visual Business Card by Miro Klasinc

Two distinctive chimes, a figure tumbling through the darkness of the movie theatre, the enticing dance of the rays of light. The new Diagonale – Festival of Austrian Film teaser—i.e. the short clip preceding every movie performance—is the attempt to visually survey the cinema hall and make it perceptible by the senses. The view from the audience towards the screen as vis-à-vis, as extension into yet another movie theatre. Motion pictures projected onto the screen, the screen reflects the light—the audience in between, tense, in anticipation of the impending cinematic experience.

Renowned Austrian art director and motion graphics artist Miro Klasinc, who was born in 1985, took a Bachelor’s degree in Information Design at the University of Applied Sciences FH Joanneum in Graz, Austria.
