Notes after Long Silence: On Austrian and American Structural Film

  • UMass Boston University Hall, University Dr N, 2300 Boston, MA, 02125 United States (map)

Presented by RPM Festival in Boston and curated by AgX members Nicole Prutsch, Mike Piso, and Wenhua Shi, this program traces the historical conversation of Austrian and American experimental film to the present day and explores the aesthetic and cultural limits pushed by filmmakers from both countries. The program features works from members of the AgX Film Collective in Boston and the Schule Friedl Kubelka in Vienna, with films distributed by sixpackfilm, Canyon Cinema, and Filmmakers' Coop.

This program has been made possible thanks to the generous support of various organizations, including the Austrian Federal Ministry for Arts and Culture (BMKOES), Austrian Cultural Forum New York, UMass Boston's Art and Art History and Cinema Studies, and Millennium Film Workshop.
