Signer’s Suitcase
A scene from ‘Signer’s Suitcase’ (1996), a documentary about Roman Signer.
Signers Koffer (Signer’s Suitcase) is a kind of road movie that takes us right across Europe. From the Swiss Alps to eastern Poland, from Stromboli to Iceland. Always following the magically charged “groove” of the landscape…
Directed by Peter Liechti. Some more scenes:

The Birds
A scene from Alfred Hitchcock’s classic ‘The Birds‘ (1963).
‘Untitled (or The Birds without the birds, or give us today our daily terror)’, (2008 – ongoing) by Martijn Hendriks.
Exact copy of Hitchcock’s 1963 film The Birds from which all birds have been removed.
Another scene:
Volare
Yves Klein, ‘Saut Dans le Vide (Leap Into the Void)’ (1960).
“Volare”, that famous song and kitsch schlager, was about… Yves Klein!
The chorus of the song goes “volare”, but the original title is “Nel blu dipinto di blu” (”In the Blue Painted Blue”), a reference to the famous blue that the artist Yves Klein made his signature.
The song has been covered at least over 100 times. Many recorded versions exist.
I collected some of the best:
Hollywoodoo
Hollywoodoo is a book of African filmposters. I saw it at my brother’s house. You too can buy it at Extrapool’s bookstore!
Fischli & Weiss
Peter Fischli & David Weiss, Der Rechte Weg (1983) (55 min.).
The wonderful ending scene of ‘Der Rechte Weg’ (The Right Way) where the rat and the bear discover music.
Steve McQueen
‘Deadpan’ by Steve McQueen (1997). Watch the video here (click realplayer or quicktime).
Reminiscent of a typcial Buster Keaton mise-en-scène, McQueen stages a deadpan humourous scene, where the house front collapses but leaves the figure mysteriously intact by leaving the window open.
Clip from Buster Keaton in Steamboat Bill Jr (1928). Watch the entire film here.
