The extremely fruitful incompatibility of music and image in film is the theme of this programme. Angst die Macht die Bilder des Zauberlehrlings is based on an orchestral rehearsal of the Goethe classic. With its comic-like collage of images, Pain So Light That Appears As Tickle tells a story of physical discomfort. Automamusic documents a museum for automatic instruments; and in Laokoongruppe: Walzerkönig, the dreariest things in the world – items of office stationery – move rhythmically to music. Stardust consists of secretly filmed documentary shots of Las Vegas, conveying the impression of a Hollywood thriller solely through its use of montage and music. Despite the fact that the Norwegian artist in I Came Back For You longs to participate in the Krump music culture of San Francisco, she simply does not belong to it, and has to make do with a lone performance in a hostel. The Sound of the End of Music on the other hand, deals not only with the incompatibility of images and music, but also mixes diametrically opposed film scores, giving rise to a strange distortion, somewhere between comfort and loss.
