SYNOPSIS:


'The Parrhasius Effect" deals with the perception of reality in the context of cinema and discusses an ideologically charged issue in relation to cinema architecture and practice using two examples from the city of Vienna. The film is based on an ancient legend and raises the question of when a film is perceived as a film.
