Reverence – The Films of Owen Land (formerly known as George Landow)

film : art 17

Owen Land (auch bekannt unter dem Namen George Landow) war einer der originellsten amerikanischen Filmemacher der 60er und 70er Jahre. Seine Arbeiten entzündeten ein respektloses Feuerwerk des intellektuellen Witzes, das sie von den Avantgardefilmen seiner Zeitgenossen abhob. Mit trockenem Humor, der sich auch in seinen skurrilen Filmtiteln zeigte. untersuchte er die Fassaden filmischer Realität und spielte mit den Erwartungen der Zuschauer. Als eine der führenden Persönlichkeiten des strukturellen Films wurden seine Werke neben denen von Paul Sharits und Michael Snow in internationalen Museen gezeigt. Die Werkschau mit 15 Filmen ist ein Projekt des Lux Centre London in Kooperation mit dem Österreichischen Filmmuseum Wien, das die Kopien restauriert hat.
