Angela Christlieb studied media art and experimental filmmaking at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK). In 1996 she moved to New York where she studied film production and directing at the city‘s New School University. Since 2001 she has worked as a freelance writer, director, editor and media artist. Her films have been shown at Berlinale, Locarno, Rotterdam, Tribeca FF New York, AFI Los Angeles, among others.
Angelas fascination with experimental film began during her studies. Film editing became her most important tool for realizing films – even on a small budget.
Over the years, she has developed a special form of ‘associative montage’. It could be compared with the concept of emergence in the natural sciences, where new structures arise from the interaction of different elements.
In this lecture, seh will talk about her unique methodology, from the conceptualization phase to the editing table. How do you translate thoughts and experience into film, and what role does improvisation and music play in this creative process?
Paul Poet is is an award-winning Austrian director and author for cinema, TV and theater. His documentary Ausländer raus! Schlingensiefs Container (2002) was included in a canon of political cinema. In 2019, Poet was voted one of the »64 most inspiring European artists, thinkers and speakers« by the cultural festival platform and was appointed Austrian ambassador for the EU cultural funding platform Creative Europe. The US medium IndieWire has described Poet as one of the greatest genre cinema experts from Austria for his curatorial work for Filmarchiv Austria, Viennale & Co, including the multi-year retrospective »Austrian Pulp«.
Do the Undead procrastinate? Is fornicating with lobsters a proper narrative? Can you hold a camera wearing pink zebra Cha Cha Heels, an Angora turtleneck and a bloody hatchet? Paul Poet (Foreigners Out! Schlingensiefs Container, Soldier Monika), provocative political filmmaker and cinema scientist from Austria with a big heart for genre thills and the anti-bourgeois abyss, leads a workshop into the incredibly strange realm of so called trash and camp moviemaking. What unearthed with naughty dirty punk auteurs like Ed Wood, Al Adamson and John Waters is now an industry full of sharknados. Don´t let your inner garbage go to waste, make it widescreen!
