Since 1995, the Viennale has invited renowned directors to create short, one-minute films as personal contributions to the festival. Ranging from home movies to political essays, musical sketches to abstract studies, these “little films” form a unique anthology of cinematic moments. 20 Little Films collects a selection of these works, premiering together for the Viennale’s 50th anniversary at the Locarno Film Festival.
Directed by Jonas Mekas and Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Jean-Luc Godard and Gustav Deutsch and Agnès Varda and Jem Cohen and Bruce Baillie and Matthias Müller and Martin Arnold and Chris Marker and Ernie Gehr and Leos Carax and Stan Brakhage and David Lynch and Ken Jacobs and Peter Tscherkassky and James Benning
