Paul Sharits’ Shutter Interface is a multi screen installation born of an intent to reveal the material substance of cinema in its purest form: spatially.

Three workshops lead up to an open invitation to improvise with the festival as concert.

From there anything could happen.
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
Blood Stereo & Ludo Mich: linking past and present generations of DIY intuitive expression in a post fluxus ‘big mess’.
A performed filmic conversation on queer and black world making.
A live installation of the ‘Film Ist’: projected on 4 huge screens and an improvised soundtrack from 4 figureheads of the Austrian experimental music scene.
