Hubert Sielecki Film Retrospective (introduction by Hubert Sielecki)

Various work periods are intergrated therein and the selection presents a spectrum of different subjects. Hubert Sielecki chose the films for an international audience not all of whom understand German. Mainly however he has a marked tendency towards the differenciated use of words and language especially.

Hubert Sielecki avoids the dry scientific-documentary aspects of some of the experimental films. For him the content of the film is the most important feature and the adept.

He uses humour and especially black humour as a method to show up the absurdities that occur when right and left are exchanged.

One has the impression that each of Hubert Sielecki's short films could have been created by a different author and Hubert Sielecki explains that new questions arise in the making of each experimental film and these should be answered through even more.

The collaboration with artists such as Maria Lassnig or with the wellknown writer Gerhard Rühm, a founding member of the "Vienna Group" and with other poets ormusicians are a leading feature in the work of the film maker Hubert Sielecki.
