Mosaik Mécanique – Notes on <strong>Film</strong> 03<br />

27 International Festival Screenings<br />

Buenos Aires, Toronto, Rotterdam …<br />

All the shots from a silent slapstick film entitled A <strong>Film</strong> Johnnie (USA 1914) are<br />

seen as simultaneous loops that are ordered into a steady grid. The 98 moving<br />

images are like Latin ciphers, chronologically proceeding from the top left to<br />

bottom right of the screen. Varying shot durations lead to a visually pulsating<br />

polyrhythm. Bernhard Lang has composed an analog soundtrack to accompany<br />

the deconstructive concept of the film.<br />
