  • Don't Know What

    Thomas Renoldner / 8 min. 7 sec. / AT

    Don’t Know What combines elements of mainstream cinema, like an entertaining dramaturgy, slapstick-like surprise effects, etc., with strategies of avant-garde cinema, like the short-cut technique or the formal and aesthetic reduction of the imagery. The audience is then left to find their way between humour and seriousness in this strange “genre-hybrid”.

  • Don’t Know What

    Thomas Renoldner / 8 min. 7 sec. / AT

    Using single-frame editing, primarily focused on sound, the realistic film image transforms into a surreal, structuralist and finally abstract film. The author transforms language into music, turns his voice into a drum machine, and his body becomes a surreal fantasy with a dozen arms and impossibly wild movements.
