“[Antiphon is] a remake [of Kubelka's classic 1960 film Arnulf Rainer] in the literal sense of the word – light becomes dark, sound becomes silence, in a reverse rhythm. And the projection of these twins, these two synthetical and contradictory works, are to be – according to Kubelka’s concept – screened consecutively, one after the other; doubly projected next to each other and then, finally, one superimposed over the other.” —Viennale program notes

Martina Kudláček's epic documentary unveils the complex worldview of iconic filmmaker and theoretician Peter Kubelka.

Free Views from the Avant-Garde programming all day in the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center from Thursday, October 4 through Monday, October 8!

Sans soleil 
1982 | France | 100m | 35mm | color | sound  

The Sorbonne should be razed and Chris Marker put up in its place. —Henri Michaux

“Sans Soleil is Marker’s tour de force as a cinematic essayist, all playful musings and meandering digressions, in which passing observations on such apparently banal subjects as pet cats and video games yield profound insights into the big issues of twentieth-century civilization: history, memory, political power, the function of representation, ritual and time.” —Catherine Lupton

The Blind Owl
La Chouette aveugle | 1987 | France | 90m | 16mm | color | sound 

” [The Blind Owl] has a continual mixture of dream and reality, past and present. Ceaselessly, one image contradicts the next. I regard it as Ruiz's masterwork.”  —Luc Moullet
