Unsere Afrikareise

“Unsere Afrikareise is about the richest, most articulate, and most compressed film I have ever seen. I have seen it four times and am going to see it many, many times more, and the more I see it, the more I see in it. Kubelka’s film is one of the cinema’s few masterpieces and a work of such great perfection that it forces one to re-evaluate everything that one knew about cinema. The incredible artistry of this man, his incredible patience, (he worked on this for five years, the film is 12 1/2 minutes long). His methods of working (he learned by heart 14 hours of tapes and three hours of film, frame by frame), and the beauty of his accomplishment makes the rest of us look like amateurs.” – Jonas Mekas
