Viennale-Trailer 2016: Cinéma Vérité

In 2010, Klaus Wyborny filmed the world premiere of his STUDIEN ZUM UNTERGANG DES ABENDLANDES (2010) in Vienna’s (meanwhile closed) Stadtkino at Schwarzenbergplatz. He liked the images from the dark movie theater, only partly lit by the film, so much that he did the same at later screenings, presented between Portugal and the US, in order to weave these images into a fabric of places and times – into a vision of cinema gliding over continents through the light of the projector. What’s celebrated here is a practice that has to be defended for its inherent democratic spirit. In CINÉMA VÉRITÉ, Wyborny has now condensed this cinematic utopia into trailer length. Cinema, as Wyborny understands it and as the Viennale practices it, is a constant departure into reality. (Olaf Möller)
