monochrom on tour // monochrom @ Winterthur Short Film Festival 2005: From November, 10th to 13th 2005, Winterthur/Switzerland will become the centre of short films again. Two monochrom video products (The Charcoal Burner, Fieldrecording in Sankt Wechselberg) are part of a special short film programme called "Facts? Facts? Facts?". Quote: "Can one really trust pictures and documentations? Mockumentaries work with the means of documentary filmmaking, but tell invented stories. The audience is left to decide for itself if the films shown in the two programmes are mocked or not." Additionally, monochrom's Johannes Grenzfurthner is scheduled to be part of a roundtable discussion entitled "Can we change the world with films? Forms of manipulation in documentary filmmaking". Filmmakers from the special program and Swiss documentary filmmakers will be discussing the demands and perspectives of documentary filmmaking. Link
monochrom is an art-technology-philosophy group having its seat in Vienna and Zeta Draconis. monochrom is an unpeculiar mixture of proto-aesthetic fringe work, pop attitude, subcultural science, context hacking and political activism. Our mission is conducted everywhere, but first and foremost in culture-archeological digs into the seats (and pockets) of ideology and entertainment. monochrom has existed in this (and almost every other) form since 1993.
