This is one of the texts featured in the book "Terence Davies: Textur #3" (2021) edited by James Lattimer and Eva Sangiorgi and published by the Vienna International Film Festival to celebrate the work of Terence Davies, whose new film Benediction screens at the festival as part of a full retrospective; he also made this year’s Viennale trailer But Why? Textur is an ongoing publication series that explores the work of filmmakers via less conventional approaches, including fiction, poetry, photography and more sensation-based, subjective or anecdotal forms of writing alongside more traditional film criticism. In Distant Voices, Still Lives, we witness rituals. There are the rituals of violence that leave traces of trauma. There are the rituals of liberation, comfort and community. Those rituals heal.

On Saturday, the winners of the 2021 Punto de Vista – Navarre International Documentary Film Festival were unveiled, after the gathering unspooled in Pamplona from 15-20 March.

This is one of the texts featured in the book "Kelly Reichardt: Textur #2" (2020) edited by James Lattimer and Eva Sangiorgi and published by the Vienna International Film Festival to celebrate Kelly Reichardt’s long history with the festival, where First Cow also screens this year. Textur is an ongoing publication series that embraces simplicity, heterogeneity, and sensation in exploring the work of filmmakers admired by the Viennale.Meek’s Cutoff tells the tale of the struggle of a meager wagon train of settlers traveling west. Destination is the Willamette Valley of Oregon, with the question remaining at the end of the film as to whether they arrive or not. Many a woeful day is spent trudging on foot alongside the wagon, without water in a dry, forbidding territory. We track the tired eyes of the pioneers as they scan the distant horizon for meaningful clues, knowing full well what emptiness lies ahead.
