DVD now available http://www.ambienttv.net/content/?q=dvdfaceless In a society under the reformed 'Real-Time' Calendar, without history nor future, everybody is faceless. A woman panics when she wakes up one day with a face. With the help of the Spectral Children she slowly finds out more about the lost power and history of the human face and begins the search for its future. FACELESS was produced under the rules of the 'Manifesto for CCTV Filmmakers'. The manifesto states, amongst other things, that additional cameras are not permitted at filming locations, as the omnipresent existing video surveillance (CCTV) is already in operation. directed by Manu Luksch, voice over: Tilda Swinton, soundtrack: mukul, piano music: Rupert Huber, www.ambientTV.NET

Limitations Permitted Manu Luksch, Neal White and FLIX Peckham Square SE15, 21-28 June 2009 Peckham Space announces its fourth commission, Limitations Permitted, which will take place in Peckham Square for one week in June.

It will consist of two related parts: a kiosk in Peckham Square, devised by Neal White and The Office of Experiments, and films by Manu Luksch in collaboration with FLIX. The phenomenon of public surveillance in Britain is one that is often debated in our news media, but how do we personally regard it? How do we feel about b...
DREAMS REWIRED traces the desires and anxieties of today’s hyper-connected world back more than a hundred years, when telephone, film and television were new. As revolutionary then as contemporary social media is today, early electric media sparked a fervent utopianism in the public imagination – promising total communication, the annihilation of distance, an end to war. But then, too, there were fears over the erosion of privacy, security, morality. Using rare (and often unseen) archival material from nearly 200 films to articulate the present, DREAMS REWIRED reveals a history of hopes to share, and betrayals to avoid. A film by Manu Luksch, Martin Reinhart and Thomas Tode AUT/GER 2015. Find more information on www.dreamsrewired.com
