With his work on visually stunning films, Peter Mettler has also collected an almost unlimited amount of found-footage material along the way. In live improvisations he uses this material in various forms, always accompanied by musicians or sound collages.
After the screening of “Picture of Light”, Mettler demonstrates this special form of audiovisual performance and gives the audience an impression of these unique improvised collages of images and sounds.
Filmmaking is process. This is rarely truer than in Peter Mettler’s unique creative practice. His work stays in flow, continuously. In this masterclass he offers insights into his exceptional, equally processual and empirical approach and a preview of the seven-part planned audiovisual diary “While the Green Grass Grows.”

In the beginning was the line. Anne Isensee and Michelle Brand generate intricate paths from it, philosophise through the medium of drawing. In DOK Leipzig’s dialogue series “Animation Perspectives,” their films meet, their views on the artistic possibilities of animation cross – in direct exchange with each other and the audience.
We show the films:
- „Dieser Film heißt aus rechtlichen Gründen Breaking Bert“, „Ich will“, „Intro“ and „Megatrick“ by Anne Isensee
- „Any Instant Whatever“, „Synchronicity“, „Vonfelt: Je pars“ and „Yay“ by Michelle Brand
Meeting and Celebrating Tess Martin
Tess Martin’s poetic stories about belonging, identity and loss ring with echoes of autobiographical experiences. She is present in every single frame of her animated films, leaves fingerprints, edges of shadows, traces of work. The artist invites us to follow those traces with her – in an exclusive commented show of her works.
