Rerun/Remix

An eventful night dedicated to film forms, which are diligent compositions of image and sound. The evening will begin with the Polish premiere of a new art video "Rerun", directed by Igor Krenz, with music composed by Robert Piotrowicz. "Rerun" is a reconstructed journey through time. Using advanced film technology as well as household items such as pasta, rubbers, felt pads, flour, and scotch tape, Krenz evokes a nostalgia for the experimental cinema of the sixties and seventies. The film creates visually abstract copositions that recall film experiments by artists such as Paul Sharits, Malcolm le Grice, Tony Conrad, Lis Rhodes, Stefan and Franciszka Themerson.

Afterwards, a video piece "WVLNT" by Michael Snow, a maverick Canadian experimental filmmaker, jazz musician and improvisator. Michael Snow's film Wavelength has been acclaimed as a classic of avant-garde filmmaking since its appearance in 1967. In February 2003 Snow made WVLNT, a "re-mix" which created a new work consisting of simultaneities rather than the sequential progressions of the original work. WVLNT is composed of three unaltered superimpositions of sound and picture.

The evening will conclude with The Legend of Kaspar Hauser (dir.Davide Manuli, 2012), an indie highlight from Rotterdam Film Festival and T-Mobile New Horizons Festival. In this surreal techno-Western shot in beautiful black-and-white, Kaspar washes up on a Mediterranean beach where they try to turn him into a club DJ. With music by Vitalic and with Vincent Gallo as both Sheriff and the Pusher.
