Still Moving 2009

Still Moving is one of the director’s most personal films, offering some insight into her artistic process. It is an assemblage of her father’s African collection, photographs made by Ottinger in the 1970s, footage of a theatre play based on Johann Nestroy and a rare artefact: an 8mm film document of Lil Picard’s birthday celebration—an artist who mingled with the Dadaists and Warhol’s Factory alike. It is an exhibition in the form of a film, a dedication to an adventurer father, a secret art museum, a cabinet of wonder: a whole universe on its own.
