Excerpts from Mr. Pills' text regarding the Subjective Cinema Workshop:
I am a filmmaker and I have always been. In the early years of my life, I could have been an architect or a sculptor or a musician, but eventually my life shifted to the world of animation. So I want to start by introducing myself, about the early years of my career, from the different motivations I had for my visual sensitivities, and I started at the age of 15 with a great Swiss 8mm camera that belonged to my father. My experimental cinema experience continued with the constant contact with new American filmmakers (Jonas Makas, Baraja and many others) who were invited to Vienna by Peter Kobleka, one of the founders of the Austrian Film Museum (1965).

For several years I put my energy into great fiction projects, but in the end I could not succeed because in Austria there was no cultural or economic interest or background to our projects following the work of Melville, French noir film, Godard or Cassavetes. With this in mind, I made my way to the Venice Film Festival in 1972 with a short fiction film.

But more than the art of cinema to think and work about life. , Love and final questions, I have benefited
