The Mozart Minute

Twenty-eight well-known film makers living and working in Austria were invited by Peter Marboe, artistic director of the Wiener Mozartjahr 2006, to produce associative short films on Mozart. Requirement: they had to be one-minute-long, artistic short films. The directors come from a whole range of different backgrounds, ranging from animation, experimental and short film to documentary and feature films. The result is a multi-facetted sampler of diverse formal and contextual positions with regard to Mozart’s person and his influence on today’s society, art and culture. The makers and the films: Houchang Allahyari: Eine typisch Wienerische Szene; Ruth Beckermann: Mozart Enigma; Songül Boyraz: Ece; Sabine Derflinger: Drei, vier; Deutsch Schimek: Die Mozarts; Siegfried A. Fruhauf: Mozart Dissolution; Michael Glawogger: Mai Thai; Wolfgang Glück: Mozart mit 15 – Mailand 1771; Barbara Gräftner & David Wagner: Killarat; Jessica Hausner: Rufus; Edgar Honetschläger: Eternity; Michael Kreihsl: Steffl; Paulus Manker: Mozart in America; Mara Mattuschka: Königin der Nacht; Bady Minck: Roll Over Mozart; Michael Palm: Mozart Sells; Peter Patzak: Ein Tapis für Mozart; Lisl Ponger: If the Lumiére Brothers…; Ferry Radax: Ein rares Dokument aus dem Freimaurer-Museum des Schloss Rosenau; Goran Rebic: KV 331 im Kopf; Thomas Renoldner: Mozart Party ’06; Anja Salomonowitz: Codename: Figaro; Michaela Schwentner: composition set // image transformed // mozart moved; Ulrich Seidl: Brüder, lasst uns lustig sein; Peter Tscherkassky: Nachtstück.
