The Structuralist filmmakers—including Peter Kubelka, Tony Conrad, Paul Sharits, and Kurt Kren––arranged their shots according to mathematical principles, attempting to produce non-narrative and non-illusionist films to oppose the cinematicapparatus. Similar to the advent of Minimalism in painting and sculpture, structural films insisted on shape, and their content was minimal and subsidiary to the outline.

GME Presents 2 Austrian Avant-Garde Filmmakers: Alfred Kaiser and Virgil Widrich

The found footage works of Austrian filmmakers Alfred Kaiser (1940 – 1994) from the 1970s (DECOMPOSING NAZI PHRASEOLOGY) and the later films of Virgil Widrich (VIRGIL WIDRICH – SHORT FILMS [1998-2019]) are lesser known than those of Gustav Deutsch and Peter Tscherkassky, but are equally significant in their own right.
