This programme of short films will be introduced by Brigitte Mayr and Michael Omasta from Synema Vienna.
Wolf Suschitzky was always fond of the short form: its playfulness, and the creative freedom that comes with it. While this selection aims to illustrate the versatility of Wolf's work, it also pays tribute to Jack Chambers, father of The Garden Cinema's owner Michael Chambers, who was instrumental in securing a work-permission for Wolf and consequently saved him from incarceration on the Isle of Man as an enemy alien during the early years of WW2.
