Peter Kubelka

Austrian filmmaker Peter Kubelka (1934) is also a musician and an architect. In the 1970s, he designed the Anthology Film Archives, a screening space in New York. Its design befits the purist aesthetic of the avant-garde film movement of that era. His short 16 mm films experiment by linking seemingly disparate sounds and images. His metric films Adebar (1957), Schwechater (1958), and Arnulf Rainer (1960) were released when structural film became internationally renowned. He is best known for his 1966 avant-garde classic Unsere Afrikareise.
