Michael Glawogger Carte Blanche: Fata Morgana

APRIL 26, THURSDAY AT 7PM
Fata Morgana
(Werner Herzog, Germany, 1971, digiBeta, 79 min.)
Michael Glawogger will be in attendance to discuss the film.
"An airplane is landing. Quite a conventional opening for a movie, one might think. And then it is landing and landing and landing and keeps landing. From this minute on, the perception of everything that you visually and emotionally experience in this movie is changed. You freely float in time and cinematographic space. You float between poetry and documentary, between prose and dramatised reality between earth and sky between score and Leonard Cohen. When I first saw this film I understood what it must mean to travel the world with a camera in your mind. Later I experienced how it feels to travel the world with a camera in your hand. And Fata Morgana taught me the most important thing; that thou should never bend towards any kind of categorization. Let your mind and your eye wander till you are pleased with what you see." - Michael Glawogger
