With delicacy, humour and a wonderful
feeling for rhythm, the film brings together
the worlds of early cinema, advertising
film and the avant-garde. In doing so,
Coming Attractions celebrates the sheer
pleasures of the film medium.
Jury statement VENICE
The ARTFORUM (N.Y.) selected Coming Attractions in its “Best of 2010” issue.
Peter Tscherkassky – whose filmic productions have been supported by
INNO VATIVE FILM, the Film Division of the Department for the Arts, from the start –
was listed among the 50 best avant-garde filmmakers of the decade in the
May/June edition of Film Comment, the renowned journal published by the Film
Society of Lincoln Center. In a list dominated by American filmmakers, he is
honored with the eminent position of number 21 as the first European on the list,
and as a non-American is second only to this year’s prize-winner at Cannes,
Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Additionally, two of his films were voted among the
top 50 of the past decade.
