Return to: ATA Film & Video Festival 2008: Program 2

3x1

3x1 shows three different views on one single swing bridge. It could be seen as a series out of Telemach Wiesinger`s past experimental film, titled „LANDED“. Composer Tobias Schwab adds the soundtrack to this art film with three episodes.

Questions with Telemach Wiesinger

Elizabeth Wing: How many swing bridges have you filmed, and where is this particular swing bridge located?

Telemach Wiesinger: It is ONE bridge in THREE different views and THREE special interpretations...

EW: What was working with Tobias Schwab on the soundtrack like?

TW: It is my first working with Tobias Schwab and we decided to add THREE different "PIECES" and not a SINGLE soundtrack. We are developing our work with the new film poem "PASSAGE", 30 Minutes, 16mm...

EW: In one section of the film the image of the bridge is double exposed. Can you tell us what prompted that choice?

TW: I used three different techniques: For the first roll I was working in the single frame mode, the second chapter was shot in the regular speed of 24 frames per second and the third episode is a THREE time exposure...
