On Thursday, 11 June, from around 9.15 pm, we will be projecting Michael Snow’s film Wavelength (1967, 45 mins) and the trailer for Skinamarink (2022, 1 min 42 sec) by Kyle Edward Ball onto the Fächer window.

Michael Snow’s Wavelength is considered one of the key works of experimental cinema. The film combines image, time and sound into a concentrated exploration of cinematic form and duration.
At its centre is a New York loft space in which various events—some casual, some enigmatic—unfold over the course of the film. A continuous camera movement constantly alters the perception of this space and determines the film’s structure. The soundtrack combines ambient sounds, voices and an electronic composition whose gradual development is closely interwoven with the film’s visual structure.

Following this, we will screen the trailer for Skinamarink (2022) by Kyle Edward Ball. Here, too, the perception of space is central: rather than a continuously unfolding environment as in Wavelength, we encounter a fragmented, unstable house in which orientation gradually dissolves. The film reinforces the perception of space as something uncertain and atmospheric.
