About the Program:

In Friedl Kubelka vom Gröller’s work, the moving image and still photography are always interrelated. For many of her film projects she first photographs her protagonists as a way of getting closer to them. The earliest films stem from a desire to hold onto a moment by capturing a face or facial expression, inspired by the flair of the Nouvelle Vague. In her later films, however, she increasingly makes use of surprise or an attack on her subjects, through which she attempts to satisfy her keen interest in people and their psyches.
Each program in this series combines Kubelka vom Gröller’s films and photographs; in Program 1, the films are interspersed with her famous “Pin-Up” series, as well as a selection of her portraits of American experimental filmmakers such as Hollis Frampton, Ken Jacobs, Kenneth Anger, and Jack Smith. The program also includes an audio piece by Miranda July, whose short story “The Metal Bowl” was inspired by one of Kubelka vom Gröller’s photos.
