[Frameworks] Luther Price RIP

[Brigitta Burger-Utzer]

Yesterday sixpackfilm had its general assembly and in the evening Peter Tscherkassky told us the sad news and he added that Luther had a stroke and he was far too young to pass away. Also I met him for the first time in A Coruna and liked him with his eccentric character. We talked about the fetish of fashion and his horrifying masterpiece SODOM: first time I saw it in the cinema I had to hold on to my seat. What a nightmarish film! And it was remarkable how dedicated he was into his art and especially the work with Found Footage. 
Peter yesterday immediately asked if we ever invited him because this was my plan after meeting him personally, now it is too late. 

I wish him that his films will last very long !!
