The event is set to open with Johann Lurf’s 70mm work ‘Forever…Forever’, filmed at the Ottenstein reservoir. The lineup includes a retrospective of Phil Solomon’s work, a focus on the amateur film club scene in socialist Yugoslavia, and a new 3D documentary by Wim Wenders titled ‘From Inside Out – The Architecture of Peter Zumthor’. The Wenders film utilizes three-dimensional imagery to explore the architectural impact of Peter Zumthor through light and materials.
