• The Audience, a film by Edgar Honetschläger and Peter Ablinger (2005)

  
  The Audience is a cinematic experiment about "the city". Los Angeles, Tokyo, Montevideo, Buenos Aires and Brasilia are represented by one single woman: the seduction. Aimlessly she wanders through cityscapes, most of them painted by the artist, frame by frame she dives through an analog world toward a digital surface.
  Peter Ablinger (composer), Edgar Honetschläger (film), Winfried Ritsch and Johannes Zmölnig (visuals, programming), Markus Noisternig (recording, postproduction and mastering for film).
