WHY FILM?
Language and images | The inner, and the outer channelled towards the inner | To be sorted within | Washed cooked and served | Channelled towards the outer | In the beginning was the word | Heard | Spoken | Language and thought | The reading of images | The writing of images | Film.
----------
WHY FILM REAKTOR?
The essence of being as a reactor for being | Film as a sparkler for the synapses | The filmmaker as a host to notional creatures | inside a glass | on screen | It smells of blood and biscuits | The film as oasis of infinite finiteness in the now | A face becomes a countenance| inside a glass | inside the reactor | the Film REAKTOR.
----------
The Film REAKTOR is Bernhard Kammel’s vehicle of choice for producing his films.
