“Notes on film 01 else” is a report on cinema’s narcotics: visualization and motion, material and montage, and the riddle posed by a face. At its very beginning, this film celebrates, as if in fast forward, the material nature of cinema, quoting avantgarde history, neue Sachlichkeit and Duchamp’s Anénmic Cinema, though without becoming nostalgic. Notes on film 01 else is in a sense timeless, being equally indebted to early cinema and the postmodern: a screen for projections, black and white and set between brackets, as an incidental remark, a quick note on the bittersweet beauty of the moving image, which preserves time and space. - Stefan Grissemann
