He is known for his 1966 ''Unsere Afrikareise'' (Our Trip to Africa), and for other very short and intricately-edited films. ''Arnulf Rainer (film), Arnulf Rainer'', a short film which alternates black and clear film, and white noise and silence, is considered a seminal work inscribing the edges of film theory. Conflated with a later effort by Tony Conrad called, "The Flicker", a notion developed that "flicker films" were a subcategory of experimental or avant garde. There wasn't, and Kubelka was creating a "pure" film with only the elements of dark and light.

Schwechater
''Schwechater'' is a 1958 experimental film, experimental short film by Austrian filmmaker Peter Kubelka. It is the second entry in his trilogy of metrical films, between ''Adebar'' and ''Arnulf Rainer (film), Arnulf Rainer''. Originally commissioned to make an advertisement for , Kubelka edited footage from the shoot based on a complex set of rules, producing a rapid procession of images. Although the company was displeased with the commercial, ''Schwechater'' found favour as a work of avant-garde cinema. Description ''Schwechater'' contains 1,440 film frame, frames, making it exactly one minute long when projected at the standard rate of 24 frames per second. The film has no narrative, and it cuts between images quickly enough that they form flickering patterns.Sitney 1974, pp. 286–287. Four different moving images appear throughout the film.
