Unlimited 23 | Pavel Borodin
Germany, Austria 2011 | 122 Min. Documentary engl. Subtitles
Unlimited 23' is the first full-length documentary about the Music Unlimited Festival, one of the most renowned European festivals for jazz and improvised music, which is held annually since 1987 in Wels, Austria. The film, commissioned by Kulturverein Waschaecht, the organizers of the festival, is dedicated to its 23rd edition as of 2009.

That year’s programme was curated by the Japanese-American avant-garde musician Ikue Mori. That year, Wels became the meeting place for many acclaimed members of the international improvised music scene such as Fred Frith, Chris Cutler, Zeena Parkins, Phil Minton, Sylvie Courvoisier and Lotte Anker, with a notably strong contribution from female performers. Several projects were formed especially for Wels and performed alongside the existing bands like Speak Easy, SPUNK and Phantom Orchard Orchestra.

The film switches from fragments of all the sixteen concerts of the tree-day festival to numerous interviews with the organizers and musicians, who discuss their projects, inner limits of their music and, of course, the unusual, almost homelike atmosphere of the festival. The music played is unique and diverse: from the opening performance of elaborately constructed John Zorn’s Cobra – to the cheerful closing done by the Dutch ex-punk band The Ex, who celebrated in Wels their 30th anniversary.

Sand Mountain | Kathryn McCool
USA, Australia 2009 | 34 Min. Documentary
Setting off with a borrowed video camera Kathryn McCool begins a solo journey through the American South to meet reclusive musician Cast King and attempts to find the America she had, as a youth, re-created and photographed in her own backyard in rural New Zealand.

Comparing what she finds with what was for so long imagined, this film is an essay about a journey into a culture she thought she already knew. But was reality going to make mockery of her painstakingly conjured up South? Sand Mountain is a road movie that drives into personal territory as well as the back roads of Alabama.

The Forest Prince and the Pig Man | Craig Constantine
USA 2011 | 70 Min. Documentary
Whatever happened to the free ride and the wide open road? By interweaving a coast-to-coast hitchhiking trip with the never-before-told history of bumming rides, 'The Forest Prince and the Pig Man (Hitchhiking in America)' tells the whole quirky, sordid tale. The film exposes a secret stash of archive materials, including a long-suppressed government study on the safety of hitchhiking. It explodes myths and reveals surprising facts: for example, large numbers of women happily hitchhiked during the 1920s and 1940s. And it introduces an amazing cross-section of road-going Americans: from an acclaimed sculptor to a cop blasting ABBA, from teenage thrill-seekers to an Oscar-winning filmmaker. 'Forest Prince' uses a subversive means of transportation and an anarchic history to take the pulse of America.
