Outside Noise
Ten diverse short films, ten queer reinterpretations of erotic silent film fantasies produced by the Viennese company Saturn from 1906 to 1911. Saturn returns, comically, imaginatively, for the fun of it: beyond the patriarchy, on this side of the pleasure principle.

“…the body of the world which is also yours and which keeps insisting / you recognize it” - Extract from Quantum by Kim Addonizio. In Zahlner’s film the world is heightened through an abstracted filming of sensory textures, evoking touch, light and sound. All becomes one and forceful.

Erotik des Schuhwerks
"Mr. Darcy: The synonym for the romantic hero since 1813, as he first appeared in Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice. The book had several movie adaptations (especially prominent [were those from] 1940, 1995 and 2005), which not only inscribe Darcy’s character in popular culture, but also illustrate our capitalist notions of love and desire, as well as a wish for escapism into a pre-industrialized, pre-virtualized world. I, too, fell for Mr. Darcy. Thanks to my webcam and Photo Booth, I can finally have my go [at] winning him over." (Daniela Zahlner)
Take Me to Pemberley
A magical lunar reverie filmed over four years on the days and nights of the full moon, this shimmering moving-image poem fluidly combines images of the saltwater Loch Carron in the Scottish Highlands and leafy Viennese forests. The two locations blur and bleed into each other, just as the film itself (shot on gloriously outdated analogue stock) wanders freely among human bodies and bodies of water.

The film, both in a critial and humouros way, deals with the concept of Ecosexuality, Nature Fetish and Activism as outlined by Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens in their Manifesto.
