reliéf Relief

A film by Johannes Gierlinger & Mira Klug
Country: Austria
Year: 2023
Length: 9'

Synopsis
Beginning with the historical painting of an idyllic Morava landscape, stored in an art depot, the film moves along the border river Morava, which, with its Austrian-Slovakian section, defines one of Austria's oldest national borders. The film 'relièf Relief' meanders downstream along the seasons, posing questions about image memory, nature and the reverberations of historical circumstances. In doing so, it refers not least to the notion of contaminated landscape.
