Magic Hour Manfred Neuwirth (1999, 44')For the third part of his trilogy, after the films on Tibet and Japan, Manfred Neuwirth turned his camera on realities much closer to home: Lower Austria, where he grew up and still lives today. The gaze is the same: an unwavering interrogation of the details of everyday life, from a bottle of beer on a picnic table to slowly drifting clouds.
With his sensitive awareness, Neuwirth, got hold of dream-like pictures, which in his words, he allows to clatter, make loud noises, hum, thunder and sing.
