Zusammenfassung:	Michael Pilz’s most recent cinematographic diary, is an impressive instance of this convincing project: For one night Pilz rides through New York with a remarkable taxi driver. Sitting by his side, looking and listening, sometimes intervening, he uses his handy high-8 camera like a writing instrument, a "camera-stylo". The quality of the film is rooted not only in the encounter with someone familiar with the night, the movies and America’s most impressive metropolis and who knows how to unexpectedly challenge his passengers. This video with a running time of about one hour is a good example of the intelligence and intuition of Pilz’s camera work and the corresponding montage (which is partly anticipated by the camera): the artist’s sense of rhythm and framing makes the spectator perceive surprising glances and moments in which reflexivity and curiosity reinforce each another. Michael Pilz makes us aware of the fact that the artistic documentary presupposes an ability of portraying the self in the best Lumiéran sense. [www.michaelpilz.at]
