Innovative Film Austria 10/11

Juice
Eve Heller
A slow motion blow-up to 35 mm foregrounds
the kinetic serendipity of a handheld
portrait shot in 1980 and entirely edited incamera.
At the time I explored the groundbreaking
portability and technical features of
Super 8 to capture the wild intensity of my
dog “Juice” as we played in a down and out
neighbourhood in Buffalo, New York. In 2009
I treated the film as an objet trouvé - without
bettering its formal quirks and lags - documenting
the so-called “amateur” nature of
the medium and an unselfconscious phase of
filmmaking practice. (Eve Heller)

Mouse Palace
Harald Hund, Paul Horn
A 1:10 scale model of an actual apartment
was constructed out of edible materials, providing
mice with a living space for Mouse
Palace. The rodents moved in and proceeded
to consume their new lodgings. The process
of decay was accompanied by intense territorial
battles between two males. “The hallmark
of Harald Hund and Paul Horn’s films is
the gleeful, ironical way they reduce our
ideas of space and our notions of normalcy
to absurdity.” (Genoveva Rückert)
