Manfred Neuwirth walks a fine line between documentary film, innovative cinema and new media. He describes himself as an “explorer, archivist, photographer and sound seeker”: Neuwirth has undertaken numerous journeys while filming, but is also an “ethnographer” of his own culture. His interest lies in day-to-day life, in the seemingly ordinary and in the sensory elements of the medium.
