Film

27/71 On Peacock Isle

Director

Kurt Kren

Year

1971

Kren had composed a diary-like piece containing subtle irony with his 27/71 Auf der Pfaueninsel (On Peacock Isle). The lengthy titles which are one minute long, in which five people are ceremoniously introduced, are followed by only twenty seconds of pictures. These pictures, filmed by Kren have a wobbly quality to them, as the camera surreptitiously looks from far off at a group of people walking away. "Family movie" is the bracketed subtitle of this film.
