The act of not seeing with one's own eyes (2024)

The “gutsiest” film of this or any other year—literally so, as it was shot solely within the director’s own body during a 20-hour capsule endoscopy. With a title that pays homage to American avant-garde supremo Stan Brakhage and using a letterbox-style wide format of image, the ever-inventive Maicher (in his fifth consecutive ÖW contender) plunges us into weirdly colorful intestinal spaces, enhanced by Manfred Plessl’s enveloping sound design and score.
