Guest: Tula Roy, Peider A. Defilla, Christoph Wirsing
What do Tula Roy and Peider A. Defilla have in common, apart from a Swiss passport? The answer is Christoph Wirsing. The cameraman has worked with the Swiss filmmakers, who live in and around Munich, time and again, as a constant companion. To mark the 90th birthday of Tula Roy and the 70th birthday of Peider A. Defilla, we invite you to a Swiss double bill of two different works that each bear the signature of their time of origin.
We have given the programme the title “Gestures of the avant-garde”. Tula Roy is one of the most prominent women on the Swiss film scene, and she has made history with her milieu studies in the feminist underground. Peider A. Defilla is one of the outstanding video pioneers of the European avant-garde and composer and arranger of the “video opera”.
In an experiment, we combine both personalities, connected by the Munich cameraman Christoph Wirsing.
