Film Curatorship is an experiment: a collective text, a montage of dialogues, conversations, and exchanges among four professionals representing three generations of film archivists and curators. It calls for an open philosophical and ethical debate on fundamental questions the profession must come to terms with in the twenty-first century.

Austrian director Gerhard Benedikt Friedl (1967-2009) left a small but singular oeuvre. This book sheds light on the work behind Friedl's films. It combines working process documentation with conversations with close collaborators and the articles Friedl wrote as a film and art critic.
