SUMMARY:ACFNY SUPPORTED | ★ BY JOHANN LURF
DESCRIPTION:\n★ is a 99-minute digital film made in 2017 by Austrian filmmaker Johann Lurf. The film consists of found-footage and shows a sequence of scenes that feature the starry night sky, extracted from hundreds of movies throughout the history of cinema, ranging all the way from 1895 to the present. The resulting imagery is as varied as it is revealing about the way conventions, ideas, and technologies change over time. Seeking out the constant of the star-dense sky at dark, what Lurf finds are mostly variables. The film itself is in a state of constant change; conceived as an ongoing project, the film will be extended as new scenes are added bit by bit. The rich visual component is accompanied by equally stimulating audio, which ebbs and flows in sync with the cuts between scenes and plays back snippets of dialogue, film music, and other sounds.\n\nSHOWTIMES\nSep 7, 2018 – 7:30 pm (NYC Premiere, Filmmaker present)\nSep 8, 2018 – 5:30 pm (Filmmaker present)\nSep 9, 2018 – 5 pm and 7:30 pm (Filmmaker present)\nSPECIAL EVENTS\nSep 8, 2018 – 8 pm\nJohann Lurf will present a program of his earlier short films as part of Anthology’s “Show & Tell” series on Sat, Sept 8 at 8:00. >>Details\nABOUT THE ARTIST\nJohann Lurf (born in 1982) was educated as a film director at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, Austria. He is known as an experimental filmmaker who cannot easily be subsumed under one style or category. His films examine various modes of (both human and technologically-aided) vision and motion, but his more formally-oriented filmic experiments are always accompanied by strong narratives that, however subtly, examine society, codes, norms, perception, and the history and development of cinema itself. Dabbling in short and feature-length films, analog and digital film, found-footage and his own shots, Lurf has made a wide variety of cinematic works, many of which have been featured in international film festivals and cultural institutions, notably the Sundance Film Festival and the Austrian Film Museum.\n>>TICKETS\nImage Credit: www.johannlurf.net/star\n \nVENUE\nAnthology Film Archives\n32 Second Avenue (at 2nd Street), New York, NY 10003\n
