Dir: Johann Lurf
Austria 2017, 97 mins
Now here’s an elevator pitch for you: a film made up entirely of night sky scenes from other films.
Not a spaceship or a person in sight, except for occasional snatches of voiceover. As we float through a century-plus of space on film, we end up marvelling at the many tricks that people have used to visualise the infinite; from Melies’ disembodied star-heads to matte painting and CGI spectacle. A work of obsession assembled from over 550 films, Johann Lurf has said that ★ will continue to grow as more sequences come to light.
Please note this performance is **not ** wheelchair accessible. We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused.
