By Philipp Kaindl (Austria), 30 March 2011 | Diagonale 2011 |Translations: [en]
Philipp Kaindl asked guests of Diagonale 2011 to reenact a scene of a film they had seen. Not many were brave enough to step in front of the camera after a day in the dark (i.e. in the audience), but here are the select few with reenactments of scenes in the following five films:
"Headshots" by Lawrence Tooley
"Instructions for a Light and Sound Machine" by Peter Tscherkassky
"Papa" by Umut Dag
"Mörderschwestern" by Peter Kern
and "Mouse Palace" by Hund & Horn
Many thanks to those who participated.

A day of watching one film after another at the Diagonale. What remains of the films I’ve seen?
In one instance, it’s a scene: In "Schwarzkopf", Arman T. Riahi’s debut feature documentary, the director portraits Austria’s disadvantaged "second generation" youth. Think of "La Haine", but (…)

However, city life is a jungle he cannot control, and hell breaks loose during a trip to the pharmacy: after failing to shoot her cheating husband, Herta walks in with a gun and is taken as a robber. In the person of this blonde, fearless old lady, life takes (…)
