Mud Flats Living
1972, 28 min
A film on the struggle to preserve the Maplewood Mudflats area in North Vancouver, British Columbia, home of an artistic community which exercised “squatters’ rights.”

Chris Marker (FR), Frank Simeone (US), John Chapman (UK)
Junkopia
1981, 6 min
This meditative documentary was filmed at the Emeryville Mudflats outside San Francisco. Its eerie images appropriate pieces of detritus, turning them into objects of strange beauty.

Sunset Kino is a programme of film screenings in the outdoor cinema pavilion adjacent to the Salzburger Kunstverein. This program runs July 12th to August 23rd on every Wednesday evening at 9 pm. From contemporary horror feature films to short, experimental videos, the focus is on contemporary art and avant-garde cinema with the theme “I am not who I was not.”

Introduced by the invited curator, screenings are about 90 minutes. Picnic tables and a bar are on-site. People can bring or acquire food from Café Cult. Free entry.
