To celebrate the release of the 13th edition of YES & NO magazine, which sheds light on more than one hundred years of the all-but-hidden history of Austrian cinema and film, YES & NO presents a two-part programme in partnership with the ICA.
Curated by sixpackfilm’s Dietmar Schwärzler, these programmes showcases some of the most iconic and groundbreaking Austrian avant-garde films. From the trailblazing experimental paragons of the mid to late 20th century to the most vital and innovative talents working today, these films reveal why Vienna remains a global centre for the avant-garde.
Programme One will also include insights from a panel of Vienna-based film artists in attendance. As legendary Austrian filmmaker Peter Tscherkassky quotes in the introduction to the book, Film Unframed, "There must be something in the water…"
This YES & NO Project has been made possible with the support of the Austrian Film Institute, in collaboration with sixpackfilm, Vienna, and the kind participation of the Austrian Cultural Forum London.
