Schwechater

Cinema is not movement. Cinema is the projection of stills.

(Peter Kubelka)


Kubelka´s achievement is that he has taken Soviet montage one step further. While Eisenstein used shots as the basic units and edited them together in a pattern to make meanings, Kubelka has gone back to the individual still frame as the essence of cinema. the fact that a projected film consists of 24 still images per second serves as the basis of his art.
