Sunset Kino – Pascal Petignat and Sophie Thun
27. 8. 25, 9 p.m.
Portal
A Short Film Program from the Sixpackfilm archive.
Curated by Sophie Thun and Pascal Petignat.
Introduction by Martina Berger-Klingler, Internationale Sommerakademie Salzburg. Followed by a Q&A with Sophie Thun, Pascal Petignant and Martina Berger-Klingler.
Portals open transitions – between bodies and spaces, times and states of consciousness, between self-images and other realities. Sophie Thun and Pascal Petignat delve into the archive in search of filmic works that explore the motif of passage in diverse ways – as transformation, reflection, disruption, and more.

Pascal Petignat
Pascal Petignat works as a photographer, conceptual artist, exhibition organizer and publisher. He also accompanies and advises artists and institutions in the realization of photographic works.
In addition to his artistic and photographic practice, he has worked for many years in education and teaching. Most recently at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, where he worked as a senior artist at the Department of Applied Photography and Time-based Media, helping to establish the department.
Together with Martin Scholz, he founded fotoK, Center for Photography and Art in Vienna in 2004 and ran it until 2018. In addition to a three-year course, fotoK was a workshop with a studio and laboratory for analogue and digital photography and, with two exhibition spaces, a venue for a rich exhibition program for photography.
Under petignat and scholz, he works artistically on decidedly photographic themes such as the question of whether a stain on the attic of the inventor of photography's house, which has been converted into a museum, refers to the magical in photography as anti-photography or, for example, the existence of phantom images on analog film material after passing through security gates at airports.
