Biography

Peter Tscherkassky is an Austrian avant-garde filmmaker who currently works exclusively with found footage. All of his work is done with film and heavily edited in the darkroom, rather than relying on technological modes. Tscherkassky not only presents beautiful and haunting images, but also forces the audience to rethink the traditional conception of film and film narrative.
