Was ist Film – Programm 5

In 1996, Peter Kubelka created the cyclical programme What is Film to mark the centenary of cinema. According to Kubelka, the programme ‘uses examples to define film as an independent art form, as a tool that conveys new ways of thinking. Young filmmakers and all those who seriously engage with the medium of film are thus offered a basic overview in 63 programmes.’
