Public Lecture 3: Public Fiction – Filmic Positions on Public Space

Streetball cages and shopping oases, enclosure and exclusion, appropriation and surveillance – public space is not only a necessary workplace for filmmakers, it is more often presenting challenging subject matter, it is an arena for the depiction of power structures and socio-political interests. This evening is dedicated to Austrian filmmakers who have done some enthralling work about and in public space. They show excerpts from their films, report on their affinity for the subject and their experiences of public space as a workplace.
