After the monographic session dedicated to him by Xcèntric (CCCB), filmmaker Hannes Schüpbach is programming works by two pioneers of Swiss experimental cinema who were his teachers, André Lehmann and Werner von Mutzenbecher, at the Zumzeig.

Weird things happen and nothing is as it seems. The world(s) seem frozen in another space and time, in multiple parallel realities. Is it the calmness before destruction? Or is it the stillness that follows it, before a new beginning?
The cliché has it that in near death experiences we get to see our lives flash past us in a moment. Using the metaphors of water and walking, the films in this programme present different ways of visualizing the stream of thought and the concatenation of images in memory.
