It's a Dance

“The reduction, the short film as a distillate that enables a new, concentrated gaze, is a central aspect of my cinematic thinking. Equally important is looking back at film history in order to rethink the present. Early cinema and the historical development of film technology are key sources of inspiration for my works, in which I reflect on everyday ways of seeing. With my films, I conduct research as a visual researcher with plenty of freedom to discover the extraordinary in the everyday.” –Viktoria Schmid
