What does it mean to recognize a documentary gesture in Kren´s films? What is being documented?
The documentary images that Kren uses in his works do not arise out of a plan, but instead, come from the right moment, a coincidence, a momentary observationWhat does it mean to recognize a documentary gesture in Kren´s films? What is being documented?
The documentary images that Kren uses in his works do not arise out of a plan, but instead, come from the right moment, a coincidence, a momentary observation, or a seized opportunity.

Many of these films probably seem slight to the casual viewer of experimental cinema. Mere adventitious snapshots of a life in progress. Maybe. But by the end of the disc, I felt Mr. Kren had exposed himself in a most sincere and entertaining manner.rnThe bonus track by Hans Scheugl, a great film maker in his own right, is super.
