DIR Clemens Kogler, Karo Szmit

Synopsis

A laconically precise film ironizing the omnipresent Powerpoint culture which converts the world’s meanings into charts and tables. The film presentation transforms some of the essential questions of the mankind and the universe into an association scheme of causes, consequences, reasons and meanings. —Doc Alliance Films

Director

Clemens Kogler

Clemens Kogler lived in Vienna before moving to Linz. He started studying classical painting and worked sometime in an advertising agency and for television but finally decided to choose a career in filmmaking.

In his work he tries to create little graphical microcosms, which have their own individual logic. He starts with static images and try to find a path of motion through these. In some cases whole film consists of only one picture. He thinks that in a way, the process is similar to architecture, with lots of planning ahead. —Doc Alliance Films

Karo Szmit

Karo Szmit was born 1978 in Warsaw, Poland and migrated to Austria in 1988. She studied at the University of Art in Linz in the experimental design department (2008) and a semester at Kunsthochschule, Berlin-Weissensee in the Erasmus program (2005).

The main focus of her work is on drawing, animated filmmaking and video. She lives in Vienna and participate in many film festivals.

The aim in her work is to approach the structure behind things using methods like collection, repetition, reduction. On the other hand she is focused on issues like longing, observation from a distance, definitions of action versus stagnancy, interesting versus boring. —Doc Alliance Films
