mumok cinema

mumok cinema, designed by artist Heimo Zobernig together with architect Michael Wallraff, is presenting manifold links between fine art and film, showing the great significance of the moving image for classical modernist art, for art in the 1960s and 1970s, and especially for contemporary developments in art.

In a regular Wednesday evening film program, we offer a forum for thematic series of films and conversations about current issues in art. These programs also facilitate discussion on new works and trends.

With its numerous partners mumok cinema is an experimental venue of transfer for artistic approaches and discourses, and also for direct exchange with the audience. mumok cinema also offers opportunities to complement our current exhibitions with related film screenings and to explore and utilize our comprehensive collection of contemporary media art.

Gernot Wieland
Birds and Songs

Gernot Wieland’s films combine personal and historical narratives with scientific facts as well as fictional and real elements with tragicomic events. They attempt to conjure a sense of the uncanny, oftentimes in ironic or absurd forms. Infused with sober, poetic tension, they follow associative narrative structures. Thievery and Songs (2016) and Bird in Italian is Uccello (2022) include stories about the Town Musicians of Bremen, a dancer, psychotherapy sessions, the history of poverty, theater productions in Italian psychiatric wards in the 1970s, political events, and childhood memories.
