DONT MISS ICELAND VII, TODAY! At 19:30h!!

“To be incoherent means to believe in cinema.” Katrín Ólafsdóttir in person at VIDEOEX.

Filmmaker Katrín Ólafsdóttir works according to the Incoherence Manifesto — a poetic commitment to a free, analogue, and radically personal cinema. Shot on expired film stock and created using only in-camera effects, driven by poetic disorientation.

For the first time ever, Katrín Ólafsdóttir’s works are being presented together in a larger context — exclusively at VIDEOEX.

World Premiere of “My Heart Beats In The World Of The Dead”. Featuring David Cronenberg.

With “Prehistoric Cabaret” and “Life and Death of Henry Darger” by

The hybrid gamelan/percussion ensemble Nist-Nah performs in Zurich for the first time.

“Will Guthrie’s gamelan ensemble is a concert experience that resonates long after it ends. Anyone who can should definitely go.”
— Benedikt Sartorius

Founded in 2019 by Australian drummer Will Guthrie, the hybrid gamelan/percussion ensemble combines traditional Indonesian music and Southeast Asian gong-based practices with influences from experimental and improvised music. Gongs, singing bowls, and bells meet complex polyrhythmic structures — without academic distance, without exoticization.
