SUMMARY:FILM SCREENING | JOHN COOK RETROSPECTIVE | SCHWITZKASTEN (CLINCH)
DESCRIPTION:The Austrian Cultural Forum and the Anthology Film Archives present a retrospective of John Cook, a key figure in Austrian cinema, whose films – several of which have recently been restored by the Austrian Film Museum – are virtually unknown in the U.S. The Canadian-born filmmaker almost single-handedly introduced a type of freewheeling auteur cinema in his adopted homeland, reminiscent of both Italian neorealism and the works of the French nouvelle vague.\nSchwitzkasten (Clinch)\nGerman with English Subtitles, 1978, 97 minutes, 16mm\n“In CLINCH, his first ‘big’ feature film, Cook draws the consequences from his previous work. After a period of self-reflection he turns to the working class again, not in a documentary mode, but by adapting a novel by Helmut Zenker. CLINCH is no longer a formal hybrid, but finds its own modus operandi: neorealism, Vienna style. The film is lyrical, but down-to-earth, its tone is precise without crossing the border to the social grotesque…. And above all: it shows solidarity with the main protagonist without turning him into a poster hero.” – Der Standard\nJohn Cook (1935 – 2001) was a Toronto-born Austrian director. Cook lived and worked in Europe for most of his life and often referred to himself as “Viennese by choice,” having moved to Austria in the late 1960s after a career in commercial photography in Paris. Despite his short filmography, Cook is considered a crucial figure in Austrian cinema.\nVisit the Anthology Film Archives at http://anthologyfilmarchives.org\nPhone: (212) 505-5181\n \nVENUE\nAnthology Film Archive\n32 Second Avenue\nNew York, NY 10003\n\nThere are no advance ticket sales.
