COMMON BIRDS

Dir.: Silvia Maglioni, Graeme Thomson, C: Kostas Vassardanis, Tassos Raptis, Rinio Kyriazi, Ana Luz Arteaga, DOP: Thomas Favel, Graeme Thomson, Panagiotis Vasilakis, FR/GR 2019, 84 min., Ancient Greek OwEs – German Premiere

Two indebted Greeks decide to leave their city to look for another way of life among the birds. Will they find it? A pamphlet on the nature of cinema. Or a journey to the borders of language?

SURPRISE SCREENING

Vienna’s Diskollektiv shows a “Trouble Feature”, unearthing the political potential that lies in the “dissent between films from different ends of the discourse.”

After the screening

Debate: TROUBLE FEATURE

An outrageous film collides with the programme, raising questions over the ways cinema is categorised in the Critics’ Week. A collective revolt against curatorial conventions and catering to expectations.

Guests: Silvia Maglioni, Graeme Thomson, Andrey Arnold, Martin Thomson

Re-Run of “Common Birds”: Sunday, 1st March 2020 – 10.30 pm
