Telemach Wiesinger, a long-term contributor to various Directors Lounge events, is coming from South Germany (Riegel, close to Freiburg) for a special film matinée at Z-Bar. Wiesinger works exclusively with analogue film, which he shoots, treats by means of an animation stand and edits by himself. Additionally, he has been collaborating with other artists on sound and visual concepts. His “Film Poems” dive deep into the beauty of 16mm black and white aesthetic, be it image tonality, contrast, grain, small analogue imperfections and, simplicity. While dwelling on his poetic subjects of bridges, water, trains and travel, he was capable of keeping or even exploring deeper the curious joy for the capabilities of film transforming the seen world into something different. This can be traced back to the joy of first early film experiments by the ingenious Lumière Brothers and Georges Méliès 1876. And more exceptionally, this joy transmits to the viewer even with more sophisticated means of the filmmaker Wiesinger such as double exposure or projection, or compositing on the animation stand. Captured or set scenes create small narratives that are been woven together like the lines of a poem.
