Siegfried A. Fruhauf
Siegfried A. FRUHAUF (1976, Austria) studied experimental visual design at the University of Art and Design in Linz. He has been experimenting with video, film and photography since 1993 and his short films have been shown at IFFR and other major film festivals, including Cannes, Venice and Sundance. In his work, Fruhauf explores the perception of cinematographic movement through the exposure and structural montage of individual film frames and photographs. In 2002, Fruhauf received the Supporting Award for Film Art from the Austrian Federal Chancellery. His most recent film Cave Painting was selected for IFFR 2023.
