Zoom Webinar by Off_screen (Karø Goldt and Michaela Schwentner) in cooperation with the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna / Univ.-Prof. Dr. Sabeth Buchmann (IKW).

OFF_screen wants to install an open format for discursive conversations about unfinished works in a cinema context. The presentation of the work and the discussion about it are intended as catalysts for a reflexive examination of that part of the working process of moving image production that usually remains invisible. This provides insights into the different artistic practices and approaches as well as the difficulties and challenges in artistic creation. At the center of the event is a decisive question about a problem that is blocking the work process, which the filmmakers pose to the invited panel and the audience. The event will take place in German.

Filmmaker: Heidrun Holzfeind
Panel: Maia Gusberti, Patricia Grzonka, Rainer Komers
Moderation: Michaela Schwentner

Heidrun Holzfeind puts this question up for discussion:

Does the female voiceover work or is it too confusing? Should it be a male voice?

And instead of subtitles, would a German and an English version be better for comprehensibility?

The question relates to Heidrun's experimental documentary The 49th Year.

Heidrun Holzfeind (Austria, 1972) is an artist and filmmaker living in Berlin. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and at the Cooper Union in New York. Her films and artistic works question immanent architectural and social utopias and explore the relationships between history and identity, between individual stories and the political narratives of the present. She has been invited to exhibitions and film screenings in museums and festivals all over the world, including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, the Museum of Modern Art (Mumok) and the Secession in Vienna, the Shanghai Biennale, the Kuandu Biennale in Taipei, the Venice Biennale and the Istanbul Biennale. She has been awarded the Camera Austria Prize and the Austrian Arts Council Outstanding Artist Award, among others.
