shot and edited with me a short movie.

It’s typical for an artist to travel. As soon as he is foreign he becomes a tourist, an art tourist perhaps. At the same time the unknown, the foreign, the strange is the matter of the artist’s analyses. Comparing it with the known, the banal, the artistic intentions become visible.

The participants of the workshop where asked to portrait their city, the city of Hué. Stephan Kurr asks them to do that with a very defined structure: each participant should chose just one location and shot with out any camera movement or changing focus a one minute scene. Important is the very personal perspective and relation to the site. This collage of sites is commented in the studio by each author. These voice from the off, are the voices from the ones behind the camera. They lock together with us at the scenery, like a second viewer. Asked for a title they named the film: “Khoan Khac“ (Hué Moment).
