Das Bewaffnete Auge - VALIE EXPORT im Dialog mit der Filmavantgarde

In her three-part series VALIE EXPORT takes a look at the themes of "staged space - staged time", "real movement - movable reality", and "structural film". Using numerous examples from films by, among others, Wojciech Bruszewski, Sergey Eisenstein, Maya Deren, Kurt Kren, Yvonne Rainer, Alfred Hitchcock, Linda Christanell and Marc Adrian, narrative and non-narrative forms of story-telling are examined and compared. The advanced level of this film is also indicated by the numerous quotes from Christian Metz, Charles S. Peirce, Vsevolod I. Pudovkin and Ferdinand de Saussure. (Dietmar Schwärzler, sixpackfilm)
