Kurzfilmprogramm: Hans Scheugl
The 1960s were an era of upheaval, which in 1968 manifested itself in its full radicalism in experimental film, particularly in Scheugl's film actions, key examples of Expanded Cinema. ZZZ: HAMBURG SPECIAL (1968) is among the most radical and minimalist works of this genre: a readymade, a purchased spool of thread that the buyer runs through the film projector so that it is set in motion on the screen. Equally ingenious is the journey through Schumanngasse from beginning to end, which cannot last longer than the 16mm reel in the camera allows.
(Dietmar Schwärzler)
"Scheugl is concerned with examining the complex relationship between real time and film time." While in VIENNA 17, SCHUMANNGASSE he seemingly artlessly records the uncut forward motion, the highly musical montage film HERNALS presents cinema as a synthetic, almost Cubist art form in which time and space are doubled, stretched, and fragmented.
(Stefan Grissemann, 2015)
From the very beginning, elements of genre cinema and film-historical references permeate Scheugl's film work: in MILITARY IN THE EARLY, the French New Wave; in HERNALS, the gangster film; in SAFETY FILM, the Western; in THE CREATION OF MAN, the drama of Jekyll and Hyde; and SUGAR DADDIES is dedicated to Laurel and Hardy. Most recently, a coup on the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF): Scheugl's manifesto against Austria's hostility towards art.
