Veranstaltet von ASIFA AUSTRIA, Webster Vienna Private University und dma-production.


Die Mediation der Sinne verbindet Aussenwelt mit persönlichen Erfahrungen und ermöglicht so eine Kommunikation ohne langwierige Erklärungen. Alle Wahrnehmungen audiovisoeller Medien sind mit den Sinnen und Gefühlen verbunden. Wie nähern sich Künstler den menschlichen Sinnen an, wie arbeiten sie mit ihnen, wie stellen sie sie dar? Was würde einen Forscher daran interessieren, was ist hier konzeptuell, ästhetisch, sinnlich möglich? Das Symposium umkreist die Beschäftigung mit unseren Sinnen und wie mit ihnen in Animation, Experimentalfilm und Medienkunst gearbeitet wird.

Am 7. und 8.3.2015 ab 10:30 sprechen die internationalen Vortagenden (GB, US, HUN, HR, CAN, AUT, GER) zum Thema Sense/Sensuality im Raum D/quartier21, wobei Pierre Hébert (CAN) seine Installation im Asifakeil persönlich präsentieren und mit einer Live-Animation-Performance auftreten wird.

Filmprogram 2:
Austrian Animated Experiments - 30 Jahre ASIFA AUSTRIA


07. März 2015 - 20:00

Anlässlich ihres dreißigsten Jubiläums präsentiert ASIFA AUSTRIA eine Auswahl an experimentellen österreichischen Animationsfilmen, die nun zum ersten Mal im Zuge des medienwissenschaftlichen Symposiums „Under the Radar“ vorgestellt wird. Die Vielseitigkeit der animierten Schätze der letzten Jahre und Jahrzehnte, bei deren Zusammenstellung ein direkter Bezug zur Animationsfilmorganisation ASIFA AUSTRIA ausschlaggebend war, zeigt, dass der österreichische Zugang zur Animation aufregend und fesselnd ist. Quer durch alle Stile und Dramaturgien ist über die politische Satire bis hin zu non-narrativen und abstrakten Arbeiten alles zu finden. Alle Möglichkeiten des künstlerischen Animationsfilms werden ausgeschöpft, re-kombiniert und erweitert: vom Zeichenfilm über Sandanimation und gemalten Filmen sowie deren digitalen Erweiterungen bis hin zu experimenteller Verwendung von Computeranimation. Eine Symbiose zwischen Kunst und Film, die man nicht verpassen sollte.

Filmprogram 3: Mackinnon & Saunders: A Model Studio

07. März 2015 - 22:00

Paul Wells präsentiert in diesem Teil seiner Dokumentarfilmreihe die berühmte Britische Animationsfilmproduktion `Mackinnon & Saunders`. Das Studio, das hinter Filmen wie `Frankenweeine`, `The `Corpse Bride`, `Mars Attacks`, `The Fantastic Mr Fox`, `Bob the Builder` und vielen anderen steht, wird aus dem Schatten der oft viel mehr beachteten Regisseure hervorgeholt und in all seinen Facetten vorgestellt. Es wird ein Blick hinter die Kulissen erfolgreicher Animationsfilme ermöglicht und die im Hintergrund arbeitenden Künstler, Designer, Modellbauer und Animatoren zeigen, wie durch sie die jeweils einzigartige Seele im Inneren dieser Produktionen geweckt worden ist.


EXPERIMENTALFILME: 100.000 Things and Doings

09. März 2015 - 21:30

In seinem neusten Film stellt Holger Lang kurze, in sich abgeschlossene Produktionen in einen grösseren Bezug zueinander.  Wie in einem Puzzle stehen die einzelnen Teile nebeneinander und zeigen in ihrer Summe ein komplexes und vielschichtiges Bild. Zwar können die Segmente des Filmes als eigenständige Arbeiten gesehen werden, in diesem Album fügen sie sich zusätzlich dazu aber auch zu einem umfassenderen Erlebnis zusammen. Die enthaltenen Abschnitte sind audio-visuelle Experimente, die sich mit Grenzen von filmischen Möglichkeiten, von Erzählformen, medialer Aesthetik und künstlerischen Konzepten auseinandersetzen.
