Peter Kubelka

Biography

Peter Kubelka (born 23 March 1934) is an Austrian filmmaker and artist known for his avant-garde work in the 1960s. His film "Unsere Afrikareise" (1966) is a seminal classic, while his earlier short films, such as "Arnulf Rainer" (1960), experiment with the flicker effect by alternating black and clear film. Kubelka's design of the Anthology Film Archives' custom screening space in 1970s New York further solidified his reputation for innovative aesthetic.
