Trouble Feature: Discussing „Common Birds' and Surprise Feature

Trouble Feature: Discussing „Common Birds" and Surprise Feature

Guests: Silvia Maglioni, Graeme Thomson, Andrey Arnold, Martin Thomson

Moderated by Andrey Arnold and Martin Thomson (Diskollektiv)

An outrageous film collides with the programme, raising questions over the ways cinema is categorised in the Critics’ Week. A collective revolt against curatorial conventions and catering to expectations.

Films:

COMMON BIRDS
Dir.: Silvia Maglioni, Graeme Thomson, C: Kostas Vassardanis, Tassos Raptis, Rinio Kyriazi, Ana Luz Arteaga, DOP: Thomas Favel, Graeme Thomson, Panagiotis Vasilakis, FR/GR 2019, 84 min., Ancient Greek OwEs – German Premiere
Two indebted Greeks decide to leave their city to look for another way of life among the birds. Will they find it? A pamphlet on the nature of cinema. Or a journey to the borders of language?   

SURPRISE SCREENING
Vienna’s Diskollektiv shows a “Trouble Feature”, unearthing the political potential that lies in the “dissent between films from different ends of the discourse.”
