Scope and content

Rigid things can always be moved about is an investigation in three films and many gazes. The films are Notes on an African Orestie by Pasolini, Images of the world and inscription of war by Farocki and Sans Soleil by Chris Marker. The film is based on the idea of an intervention and on the idea of a discussion that comes to terms with the problems of using and misusing archive material. It also tries to transfer an academic context back to the filmic medium. With three different approaches of appropriating these filmic works the film explores the means and concerns of the cinematic image. It is a study of essay film using the means of the essayistic itself.
