MILIZ IN DER FRÜH als Film des Monats Juni auf flimmit.com
Miliz in der Früh, Scheugls erster und kaum bekannter Film von 1966, schwelgt in einer Fülle, die keinen Umweg über die Leere nimmt. Ein Arsenal an Formelementen und Montagepraktiken, die die Film-Avantgarde schätzt, wird ausgebreitet: die Trennung von Bild und Ton, der Kurzschnitt und sein Flickern, der künstlerische Eingriff in das Bild selbst, die Fragmentierung in narrative Partikel, die Übersetzung von Schrift in Bild, der nervöse urbane Blick, den nichts hält, die Farbe, die sich von ihren Gegenständen löst und zum Zeichen wird, ein System von Unterbrechungen und Verzweigungen, das lineare Zeit aus den Fugen hebt. Auch die Geschichte, zu der sich der Film zusammensetzt, hat die klassische Dramaturgie längst verabschiedet. Sie sammelt Beobachtungen von den Rändern der Stadt, zeigt Neugierde für Gesichter und Alltagsgeschehen, streut Plotelemente der Intrige ein und wildert in der Populärkultur. (Elisabeth Büttner)
im Juni GRATIS hier zu sehen. Unbedingte Empfehlung!!!

EMAF-Award for IMPERIAL VALLEY by Lukas Marxt
we are happy about the news, that Lukas Marxt received the EMAF Media Art Award of the German Film Critics for his latest short Imperial Valley at Osnabrueck´s European Media Award Festival. Congratulations !
from the jury statement: Lukas Marxt used a recording technology, originally developed for military surveillance flights, to shed light on these dramatic circumstances. He makes us flabbergasted by the concrete form of industrial food production, which is systematically destroying our natural resources. He succeeds in doing something that is a high goal for many who work with visual media: to make the invisible visible.
