Stefanie Weberhofer has visually contemplated the Alpine region around Dachstein with her Super 8 camera since 2022. She has transformed panoramas of landscapes and close-up details as well as footage of popular and elite sports, structural interventions in nature, and signs of human-driven climate change into filmic experiments, impressively exploiting the artistic potential of analog Super 8 film. As she films, her subjects are rhythmized, multiplied, and captured with long-exposures or time-lapses. The artist processes the film by hand, working with beer, blackberries, mushrooms, and more: This conscious manipulation of the chemical process – mistakes as a method – also hints at human interventions in nature. Some of the films are dedicated to the writer Bodo Hell, who spent many summers as a herdsman on the Grafenberg Alp on Dachstein, but has been missed there since 2024. Weberhofer visited Hell many times and filmed him at work. His text 666 inspired the title of the short film Schonwieder hat sich eine Landschaft hergestellt.

Stefanie Weberhofer will project her Super 8 films herself from the cinema and talk about the program.
