Vienna Shorts, 2021

Alexandre Alagôa screens his new experimental film Grid (2021) at the Vienna Shorts film festival.

During an artist talk with Katharina Huber, festival programmers Thomas Renoldner and Wiktoria Pelzer, Alagôa dives deep into his reserch on structural film, his influence on the seminal works of figures like Michael Snow (Wavelength, Back and Forth, La Region Centrale), Ernie Gehr (Side/Walk/Shuttle), Takashi Ito (Spacy), Toshio Matsumoto (Atman), his interest on the mechanical, material and physical qualities of film, and the perceptual impact of the medium on the audience's nervous system.
