mumok cinema, designed by artist Heimo Zobernig together with architect Michael Wallraff, is presenting manifold links between fine art and film, showing the great significance of the moving image for classical modernist art, for art in the 1960s and 1970s, and especially for contemporary developments in art.

In a regular Wednesday evening film program, we offer a forum for thematic series of films and conversations about current issues in art. These programs also facilitate discussion on new works and trends.

With its numerous partners mumok cinema is an experimental venue of transfer for artistic approaches and discourses, and also for direct exchange with the audience. mumok cinema also offers opportunities to complement our current exhibitions with related film screenings and to explore and utilize our comprehensive collection of contemporary media art.

Films as Letters
Wednesday, January 15, 2025, 7 pm

Presenting Films as Letters emphasizes the individual address—while they are nonetheless directed at an audience. Personal information oscillates with public messages. Various cinematic compositions of salutation, reply, and visual moments create their own long-distance relationships and time crystals. Whether they are love letters in the year of Chernobyl (Thelyia Petrakis, Bella, 2020), or correspondences about the assault on a kibbutz in Israel (Lynne Sachs, States of UnBelonging, 2005) or a reconciliation attempt between a daughter and a father who would have preferred to have a son (Diana Cam Van Nguyen, Love, Dad, 2021), the evening’s screened films nimbly cross the boundaries of fictionalization and authentication.
