If life is assaulted by power, where do we find spaces for living? A conversation with Peter Pál Pelbart.
Reveling in the geometric, mathematical and perceptual relationship between sound and form, this programme features a landmark work of experimental film in Kubelka’s Arnulf Rainer; a complex, enduring and expressive of structuralist or flicker films.
