TIMEFLAKES (13 exc), exc 12, by Brigitte Uttar KORNETZKY © 2004 Brigitte Uttar Kornetzky

Tuvinian shamans get in touch with the spirits of the mountains, while the hunting started in Engadina...
„Of all the arts, film is best able to eradicate the line between the dreaming and waking eye. In Timeflakes, director Kornetzky uses the motion picture camera to explore the conscious and unconscious mind and the way cinema can blur distinctions between outer and inner space. The lens of the camera, like the windows and tunnels in the film, is a passageway, both literally and spiritually. The film exists outside of time, in an eternal pulsating NOW! Images float across the eyes lake passengers on a lake, small ripples creating time flakes in an ever expanding universe. But, in the placidity of the natural world, human intrusian can be abrupt and violent. Death and dying, dream and nightmare, innoscence and sexuality, the modern and the mythical, create unexpected cosmic collisions in Kornetzky`s cinematic universe. At a time, when film has become subservient to narrative and jive dramatics, Timeflakes is a refreshing reminder of what makes cinema so completely and utterly unique: it is art in motion.
Marc Campbell, director TAOS FILM FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS
