Trailer “SCHOOL FRIEDL KUBELKA FOR INDEPENDENT FILM” 2015/2016 by Josephine Ahnelt“

Early 2015 I was approached by my former filmschool to create a one minute Trailer for their upcoming schoolyear. I was given 30m of 16mm black & white negative Film for the Assignment which was handprocessed by one of the assistents of the school. The short piece draws an analogy to filmmaterial itself by playing with and tracing shadows via a physical mainfestation.

The School promotes prospective filmmakers and provides artistic exchange and tuition by national and international film artists. Founded in 2006 by Friedl Kubelka, the program is based on Dante’s quote “where what is willed must be”. A passionate interest in a topic and its implementation on (analog) film is what matters. The objectives of a school year are to create independent works of film and to attain an individual position, manner of working and understanding of film.
