The productions were cheap, the actors and actresses irreverent, and film took its cue from the underground music scene. New York from 1978 to 1982: while the city virtually lay in ruins, a young generation hoisted the “No Wave” banner, striving to break out of the climate of decline. This programme brings together the most important Super 8 and video works made during this period. Featuring films by Vivienne Dick, Beth & Scott B as well as the European premieres of works by John Lurie and others. In cooperation with the Austrian Film Museum, Vienna.
