VALIE has passed away. We mourn the loss of one of the true greats, both as an artist and as a human being. Her body of work—film, video, performance, photography, and installation—can be seen as a milestone in international art history; she has entrusted all her single-channel works to sixpackfilm.

VALIE was an anchor; you could always count on her. Always open-minded, incisive, and wise, she spoke out whenever important issues of the present, art, or socio-political topics were at stake. She was always there; now she has left us behind.
 
VALIE impressed not only because of her radical body of work, her courage, and her uncompromising feminist stance; she also won many hearts with her kindness and humor. At every event she attended, it was palpable how much affection and appreciation the audience showed her—a special occasion every single time. We are all the more grateful that, in cooperation with Belvedere 21 and the Austrian Film Museum, we still had the opportunity to celebrate her 85th birthday with a grand celebration. 

Rest in Power! VALIE has a place in our hearts. We will miss her deeply. 

Datna Éclat, the latest, brilliant audiovisual collaboration between Tina Frank and General Magic, has been honored with an invitation to the MuVi International program and will celebrate its festival world premiere there.
