Masterclass: Michael Glawogger and Wolfgang Thaler
Monday, May 14, 2012, 7.30 p.m., Kinoteka
In English with Polish and English translation
Michael Glawogger is a renowned Austrian filmmaker, screenwriter, cinematographer and photographer, considered to be one of the most prominent documentary filmmakers at the turn of the 21st century, often travelling across the globe in search of materials and subjects for his films. He is not afraid to break the rigid rules and stylistic limitations that the documentary film genre still abides by. His most famous films comprise a cinematic “work trilogy” that has won him a number of awards: “Megacities” (1999, awards at festivals in Vienna, San Francisco and Vancouver), “Workingman’s Death” (awards at London, Gijón and Leipzig festivals and winner of British Film Institute's John Grierson Award) and “Whores’ Glory” (2011 - Orizzonti Jury Prize at Venice IFF). Glawogger has also made a few well-received feature-films, including a screen adaptation of Josef Haslinger’s critically acclaimed novel “Das Vaterspiel” (2009). Glawogger is famous for creative use of music in his films, benefitting from the talent of artists such as Los Tigros del Norte (“Megacities”), John Zorn (“Workingman’s Death”), PJ Harvey and CocoRosie (“Whores’ Glory”). Glawogger has a long-standing collaboration with cinematographer Wolfgang Thaler.
In the course of the masterclass, Michael Glawogger and Wolfgang Thaler will talk about their artistic credo, cooperation, the search, preparation and documentation of their film topics, how they plan the filming stages and imagery techniques, including computers ones. They will discuss a number of compelling issues connected with the filmmaker's ethics. One of the questions they will address is whether the documentary filmmaker has the right to use footage of people she/he has captured on camera to prove the thesis these people might not agree with.
During the masterclass, filmmakers will analyze three selected scenes from the films: “Megacities”, “Workingman's Death” and “Whores’ Glory”.
