Fragments of Kubelka
This epic documentary subtly introduces the complex world view of iconic filmmaker
and theoretician Peter Kubelka (born 1934, Vienna). While Kubelka‘s radical and pioneering body of films is a highly condensed
work of about an hour focussing on the essence of cinema, his legendary lectures often unfold over many hours. These lectures
on "what is cinema" and "cooking as an art form" are frequently illuminated by presentation of archaeological objects from
Kubelka's eclectic collection. He considers his ongoing collecting to be an expanded film practice which explores the evolution
of humanity. Martina Kudláček has carefully woven an open-ended portrait which goes beyond the biographical to reveal fresh
insights into the phenomenon of film.
