Invisible Adversaries (Unsichtbare Gegner, 1977), dir. VALIE EXPORT // Anna, an artist, is obsessed with the invasion of alien doubles bent on total destruction. Her schizophrenia is reflected in the juxtapositions of long movie camera takes with violently edited montages: private with public spaces; black & white with colour, still photographs with video, earsplitting sounds with disruptive camera angles. Anna uses her body like a map; after a devastating quarrel with her lover, she paints red stitches on herself. Watching their scenes together, we realize how seldom, if ever before, the details of sexual intimacy have been shown in film from the point of view from a woman. Export privileges rupture over unity and never settles for one-dimensional solutions. // Aus gegebenem Anlass, RIP Valie Export (1940-2026) 🕊️🤍 by @invisibleadversaries

After their father disappears ― we’re never sure why ― murder is suggested. Vicente brings his girlfriend to the house, and a different kind of family is established as the three youngsters grow fiercely protective of each other.

Wheel of Ashes (1968), dir. Peter Emanuel Goldman // A stripped-down account of a young man’s existential reckoning. “As dust hides a mirror, lust hides the self,” reads one of the film’s Vedanta-sourced intertitles. And indeed, while the Pierre Clementi protagonist’s inner life remains obscure, the Saint-Germain-des-Pres neighborhood that offers his temptations appears in harrowing detail. by @invisibleadversaries

Eftersøgningen (The Search, 1970), dir. Ursula Reuter Christiansen et al. // The Search is the ultimate happening film created by a group of ABCinema members during a camp on the Juttish heath. The film consists of loosely composed sequences. The landscape is the setting for a series of peculiar occurrences in which individual members were free to realize personal ideas, fantasies and themes: a man runs across the heath, shouting, a Molotov cocktail flares on a beach, a man repeatedly falls over, an angel-like woman makes a solitary procession, a burning pine, a man breaking a tree with a shovel, etc. by @invisibleadversaries
