He screams, falls, lies, is
chopped up, shot or takes his own life. Again and again his empty gaze,
again and again his rigid body. In 54 years of acting career Udo Kier
played in more than 170 feature films, 120 series episodes and 50 short
films. More than 70 times Udo Kier tried to give an expression to dying
and death. In <em class="">Staging Death</em> these representations of death
merge into a montage of the most diverse shot sizes, film formats,
special effects and sound designs. European auteur cinema, Hollywood
blockbuster, independent trash, art installation, television film,
commercial, music video and children's series: in Udo Kier's oeuvre,
everything becomes one. In this sense, <i class="">Staging Death</i> also moves
between document, essay, found footage, supercut and Youtube clip. <i class="">(Jan

parents’ house. One night in December 2021, after an unusually extreme
weather event, my parents’ house flooded, and they had to be rescued by a
boat. They lost almost everything that night, including their dog and
their cat. Two days after the flood, when the water level went down and I
could finally enter the house, I tried to extract as many objects as
possible, and for the rest, I made this film. <em class="">(Anna Vasof)</em><span style="font-style: normal;" class=""> </span></div><div class=""><a href="https://www.sixpackfilm.com/en/catalogue/2783/" style="font-style: normal; font-size: 14px;" class=""><b class="">–></b></a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><font face="Helvetica-Light" color="#941100" class=""><font size="4" class=""><span style="font-style: normal;" class="">Distributor’s screening sixpackfilm</span></font><br class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">08.05 || 9:45</span></font><br class=""><br class=""><img apple-inline="yes" id="BAE5D43F-6D81-4714-A860-C2B35A85939C" class="" src="cid:6BBE5E9F-2DDA-455B-9C0E-5436C6B71307"> <img apple-inline="yes" id="DE7FF5D9-FE2E-46C3-A512-8E610D97C625" class="" src="cid:B7E0818E-5DE3-4E10-935E-9CAF7F33937A"> <img apple-inline="yes" id="D96E72C6-8086-45F0-9949-15C0AB5C796E" class="" src="cid:04B41FEB-EAFD-4268-B4CE-609ED898D615"></div><div class=""><b style="font-size: 14px;" class="">It is exactly enough time</b><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""> (Virgil Widrich, Oskar Salomonowitz, 2021, 2 min)</span></div><div class=""><b style="font-style: normal; font-size: 14px;" class="">Warten</b><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""> (Bernd Oppl, 2021, 8 min)</span><br class=""><b style="font-style: normal; font-size: 14px;" class="">Amazon Woman</b><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""> (Anna Vasof, 2021, 4 min)</span><br class=""><b style="font-style: normal; font-size: 14px;" class="">She wants him to go, she wants him to stay</b><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""> (Viki Kühn, 2021, 13 min)</span><br class=""><b style="font-style: normal; font-size: 14px;" class="">Singing in Oblivion</b><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""> (Eve Heller, 13 min)</span><br class=""><b style="font-style: normal; font-size: 14px;" class="">The Gallery</b><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""> (Cordula Rieger, 8 min)</span><br class=""><b style="font-style: normal; font-size: 14px;" class="">KatharinaViktoria </b><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">((Viktoria Schmid, 2011, 1 min) </span><br class=""><b style="font-style: normal; font-size: 14px;" class="">KatharinaViktoria 2(021)</b><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""> (Viktoria Schmid, 2022, 1 min)</span><br class=""><span style="font-style: normal; font-size: 14px;" class=""><b class="">Train Again</b> (Peter Tscherkassky, 2021, 20 min)</span><br class=""><br class=""><font color="#941100" face="Helvetica-Light" size="4" style="font-style: normal;" class="">Conditional Cinema</font></div><div class=""><font color="#941100" face="Helvetica-Light" style="font-style: normal; font-size: 14px;" class="">program 1<br class="">05.05 || 9:45 pm</font><br class=""><br class=""><b style="font-style: normal; font-size: 14px;" class="">A proposal to project in 4:3</b><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""> (Viktoria Schmid, 2016, 16mm, 1 min)</span><br class=""><b style="font-style: normal; font-size: 14px;" class="">A proposal to project in Scope</b><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""> (Viktoria Schmid, 2020, 35mm, 8 min)</span><br class=""><span style="font-style: normal; font-size: 14px;" class=""><b class="">Nothing</b> (Ernst Schmidt jr, 1968)<br class=""></span><br class=""><font face="Helvetica-Light" color="#941100" class=""><span style="font-style: normal; font-size: 14px;" class="">program 2<br class="">06.05 || 5 pm</span></font><br class=""><br class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""><span style="font-style: normal;" class=""><b class="">Wind</b></span> (Martin Putz, 2021, 30 min)<br class=""></span><br class=""><img apple-inline="yes" id="C2C4967B-B767-4E02-9CC3-B6BDBB1833EF" class="" src="cid:5A7493D9-8997-4C99-9DC3-8E7C9AF373D2"> <img apple-inline="yes" id="2487E289-FA57-485B-A721-0C8993611DE3" class="" src="cid:A22269B8-2BF2-427E-8B6E-381D518B8A69"> <img apple-inline="yes" id="F024EADC-C6D4-49F7-BA45-6540D35E1788" class="" src="cid:DC2C259A-09B6-4411-AD0F-AF928E9FB021"><br class=""><br class=""><a href="https://www.sixpackfilm.com/en/catalogue/" style="font-style: normal; font-size: 14px;" class=""><b class="">—> sixpackfilm web-catalogue</b></a></div><div class=""><br class=""><span style="font-style: normal; font-size: 96px;" class="">3</span><br class=""><font size="5" class=""><span style="font-style: normal;" class="">29.

When Michael fights his way to the finish line on his bike, accompanied by applause in the RaceRunning competition at the Paralympics in Denmark, my empathy is entirely with him. This succeeds because the filmmaker unreservedly takes Michael’s side. The camera’s gaze is concentrated and attentive, allowing me to participate in the world of Gerald, Valentin, and Michael. In the process, cinematic images of great intensity emerge, creating absolute closeness to the protagonists while at the same time maintaining an appropriate distance. The film takes its time to watch and listen and gives me cinematic time
with three protagonists whose fine humor shows how things can succeed in
life. <i class="">(Gabriele Mathes)</i></div><div class=""><a href="https://www.sixpackfilm.com/en/catalogue/2762/" class="" style="font-size: 14px;"><b class="">–></b></a></div></div><div class=""><font color="#941100" face="Helvetica-Light" style="font-style: normal; font-size: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font color="#941100" face="Helvetica-Light" style="font-style: normal; font-size: 14px;" class="">05.05 || 9 pm || Rio 2<br class="">12.05 || 9 pm || Atelier<br class="">14.05 ||8.30 pm || Neues Rottmann</font><br class=""><br class=""><font size="5" class=""><span style="font-style: normal;" class=""><b class="">–––</b></span></font><br class=""><a href="https://www.sixpackfilm.com/en/" class=""><font size="4" class="">sixpack<span style="font-style: normal;" class=""><b class="">film</b></span></font></a><br class=""><br class=""></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
