Sonic Cinema presents a programme of ten short films, bringing together the practices of Vienna-based filmmakers Viktoria Schmid and Johann Lurf for the first time.

Viktoria Schmid and Johann Lurf work at the intersection of the cinema and exhibition space, exploring shared interests in cinematic technologies, landscape, and human perception. Each working with a wide variety of mediums and formats including 35mm CinemaScope, 16mm, stereoscopic 3D, video, photography, and installation their works are characterised by their thoughtful exploration of concepts and surprising reconfigurations of the world around us. Though sharing similarities in subject matter and concepts, Schmid and Lurf’s differing approaches to their individual practices results in the distinctive bodies of work this programme seeks to juxtapose.

Viktoria Schmid and Johann Lurf will be present for a Q&A after the screening.
