“Whenever I watch films where a landscape is filmed from a car…”
Gernot Wieland‘s (moving) images between art and cinema

Gernot Wieland’s films are screened at film festivals but are also shown as installations in gallery spaces, with Wieland devising scenarios that go beyond simple projection. The films address the overcoming of personal traumas. Reflecting on his childhood, Wieland creates visual worlds through memories which he comments upon laconically from off-screen in hindsight that has, at times, philosophical qualities.
The lecture sheds light on his autobiographical approach (from a film studies point of view, rather than an art scholarly perspective), traces connections to aesthetic traditions of classical experimental film and responds to the different screening conventions of art and cinema spaces.

In the context of the lecture, another one of Gernot Wieland’s films will be screened:
