Sexy hätte das nicht sein sollen

An audiovisual journey through the works of Claudia Siefen-Leitich, an editor, filmmaker, and author born in Cologne and based in Vienna for many years. Found-footage material meets text fragments, Wittgenstein meets Kafka, the sound of language meets the rhythm of wild image collages: Each film is a carefully crafted composition on its own – together, they form a cohesive and compelling program complemented by live music, readings, and discussions with the artist. Not to be missed! (Florian Widegger)
