Welt Spiegel Kino : Live

November 19, 2005
 

In cooperation with Vienna’s music festival Wien Modern, the Film Museum will be dedicating an entire evening to the world première of the three-part live version of Gustav Deutsch's recent masterpiece Welt Spiegel Kino.
 

Taking as its outset three historical street scenes in front of cinemas – Vienna in 1912, Surabaya in 1929 and Porto in 1930 – Deutsch has set in motion a fascinating machinery of association through amazing superimpositions. The result:  enigmatic reflections on the relationship between cinema and the outside world.
 

Welt Spiegel Kino LIVE confronts the three episodes with the original film footage that the filmmaker drew from; these will be accompanied live by musicians Christian Fennesz, Burkhart Stangl and Jean Paul Dessy.
