THIS MOVIE IS A GIFT is a film about the artist Daniel Spoerri. Actually, it is a film about a thought of Daniel Spoerri: a film almost without Daniel Spoerri, actually it is mostly acted out by a child - a film namely about the thought of the eternal cycle, where even worn-out cooking spoons on the wall can live on as art.
"A remarkable meditation on life." Thomas Taborsky, Die Furche
"Anja Salomonowitz, together with Spoerri and her son Oskar, has made a subtle film in which one may laugh quietly and also cry a little." Ditta Rudle, Dance Magazine
IN MEMORIAM OSKAR SALOMONOWITZ 07/20/2008 - 10/27/2020
SYNOPSIS
Daniel Spoerri arranges things into one of his assemblages as if he were contributing something to the order of life. Oskar Salomonowitz, the filmmaker´s son, vividly brings the artist´s thoughts closer to us, as if they were his own. The spoons of the late father of Anja Salomonowitz are added to the cycle of life. People die, things remain. By also updating Daniel Spoerri´s past through the child, the film courageously undertakes a new documentary path of cinematic, biographical representation. Spoerri´s father, Isaac Feinstein, was murdered in the Holocaust and Spoerri´s life was shaped by this disappearance. In his work, he says, the things found at the flea market, which he collects and nails to the wall as compositions, no longer disappear. He has captured life for a moment.

SYNOPSIS
Daniel Spoerri arranges things into one of his assemblages as if he were contributing something to the order of life. Oskar Salomonowitz, the filmmaker´s son, vividly brings the artist´s thoughts closer to us, as if they were his own. The spoons of the late father of Anja Salomonowitz are added to the cycle of life. People die, things remain. By also updating Daniel Spoerri´s past through the child, the film courageously undertakes a new documentary path of cinematic, biographical representation. Spoerri´s father, Isaac Feinstein, was murdered in the Holocaust and Spoerri´s life was shaped by this disappearance. In his work, he says, the things found at the flea market, which he collects and nails to the wall as compositions, no longer disappear. He has captured life for a moment.
Daniel Spoerri creates art out of found objects that lose their function as soon as he integrates them into his works. Anja Salomonowitz makes films that are devoted to the visualisation of times and conflicts. THIS MOVIE IS A GIFT stands at the crossroad between both and intertwines their work in a very personal way. The film’s title already suggests that it does not aim to represent anything, but wants to give: Salomonowitz thanks Spoerri with a portrait that binds his work with objects back to his biography again and again: Spoerri, born Feinstein, is the son of a Romanian Jew who was abducted and murdered. At the same time, the film looks ahead and extends its memory into the future by staging Salomonowitz’ son Oskar as a stand-in and opposite of Spoerri. Nothing is lost but is merely reassembled in surprising ways.
Dominik Kamalzadeh, Filmjournalist, Vienna
Akin to a part song, Anja Salomonowitz’s tender approach to artist Daniel Spoerri is arranged for several voices. The first is the artist himself, a fascinating man of multiple talents. The film mainly focuses on his work with objects, his so-called snare pictures. Those pictures are also the second voice as the film uses them to create an idea of resurrection. Cycles are renewed, life begins again. The third voice belongs to Salomonowitz’s dead father and the act of mourning that loss. The fourth voice belongs to her son Oskar, who re-enacts statements by Spoerri. The fifth voice is connected to the pogrom in Romania during World War II. Spoerri, who comes from a Jewish family, lost his father in that time. Largely shot at Spoerri’s workshop, the film connects all these voices and has them overlap, finding a beautiful way of illustrating both how to reach out and greater selfunderstanding. Resurrection, the film tells us, is possible when one finds a way to accept death. There are films as letters, films as songs, films as poems but one rarely hears about films as being gifts. Salomonowitz gifts us an understanding of how beautiful and necessary it can be to give a film as a present.

QUOTES
“... There are films as letters, films as songs, films as poems but one rarely hears about films as being gifts. Salomonowitz gifts us an understanding of how beautiful and necessary it can be to give a film as a present.”
Patrick Holzapfel, Viennale, Vienna International Filmfestival
"A remarkable meditation on life."
Thomas Taborsky, Die Furche
"But what's probably the most beautiful thing about this lovingly drawn film collage is how it manages to effortlessly and playfully give impressions into a world of ideas that evokes a much more fundamental reflection on art."
Ania Gleich, skug
“With THIS MOVIE IS A GIFT, Anja Salomonowitz enters Daniel Spoerri’s world and without translating it, without simplifying it, succeeds in the perilous art of opening a hallway toward its core. The dialogue between Spoerri’s and Salomonowitz’s creation works like a charm and the viewer, third party in it, ends up with a sense of intimacy with both artists.”
Déborah Laks, Researcher, CNRS Paris
“It’s an inventive film, made of simplicity and profoundness.”
Eva Sangiorgi, Viennale, Vienna International Filmfestival
“The rage to collect, the assemblages as memento mori, death: as Salomonowitz‘s film reflects, it reaches far beyond the usual artist documentary. She shows that Spoerri‘s accumulation of all the doll‘s heads, spoons and hearts is not an end in itself, but that they enter into a new cycle through him.“
The Gap, Nina Schedlmayer
“This film is not a conventional artist‘s biography, but actually a beautiful, unexpected gift to all of us.“
