THE AUSTRIAN CULTURAL FORUM NEW YORK PRESENTS: MICHAEL PILZ

March 16 – March 23

Filmmaker in person!

For the winter installment of our ongoing series with the Austrian Cultural Forum New York, Anthology presents a generous selection of films and videos by experimental filmmaker Michael Pilz. A crucial figure in Austrian avant-garde cinema for more than four decades, Pilz is perhaps best known on these shores for his collaboration with John Cook, which produced the film SLOW SUMMER (recently preserved, and screened at Anthology last year), and for the monumental experimental documentary HEAVEN AND EARTH. An astoundingly prolific artist, he has maintained a remarkable rate of production throughout his career, and this program offers NY audiences one of the first chances to experience the full breadth of his work, from HEAVEN AND EARTH to the video diaries he has created during his extensive travels across the world over the past two decades.

Pilz will be at Anthology to present and discuss his work in person.

Presented in collaboration with the Austrian Cultural Forum New York; very special thanks to Michael Pilz, Hannah Liko (ACFNY), Christoph Huber, Olaf Möller, and Alexander Horwath, Regina Schlagnitweit, Andrea Glawogger & Markus Wessolowski (Austrian Film Museum).
