Born in 1941, french experimental filmmaker Rose Lowder is considered as one of the most influential European figures in experimental film. Starting as a painter and sculptor, studies took her to Lima and London. After many years of work as an editor at the BBC she intensely turned towards experimental filmmaking in 1976. In 1987 she presented some of her work as her thesis The experimental film as an instrument towards visual research. Along these lines she investigates her environment and its perception with a scientific view, using cinematographic tools.

In 2012 artists Ruth Anderwald + Leonhard Grond start their series HASENHERZ. Imagine the format the following way: International artists are being shown. Duration: Approximately one hour. In the style of Schönberg's Association for private musical performance (founded in 1918) the concept of wanting to understand the new, is now transferred to the medium of experimental film and lyricism:The movies on display are being repeated and in between screenings they are discussed.The same form of presentation applies to readings. As it was the goal of the format`s model “to provide artists and art lovers with a real and profound knowledge of modern music“, similiar should be achieved for the experimental film/video and lyricism. If the artists whose work is being shown, are not present, they can be cut into the discussion via skype or telephone.
