Sasha Pirker, Lotte Schreiber

Exhibition Talks, a collaboration by the two filmmakers Sasha Pirker & Lotte Schreiber, was awarded the Prize for Innovative Cinema at this year’s Diagonale – Festival of Austrian Film. This work is the starting point for FILM TALKS, a film evening at mumok kino compiled by Sasha Pirker and Lotte Schreiber. The program includes works by both artists and a guest contribution by Christian Ruschitzka, all of which look at issues relating to exhibiting and space. The Berlin film curator Madeleine Bernstorff will moderate the evening, at which the three filmmakers will all be present.
