"After Mountain View (2019) and Into the Wild (2021), Vienna-based experimental miniaturist Markus Maicher lands his Vienna Shorts hat-trick with this unique study in digital autobiography. Compressing a whole decade of his family's home movies into 10Mb of binary data, it bombards the viewer with two minutes of total sensory overload. The result is a giddy blast of turbo-speed nostalgia that manages to find a whole new angle on the well-worn found-footage format."
