Erni poster

Based on the Carol Reed film 'The Third Man', Edgar Honetschläger's Erni unfolds in Vienna. Two Japanese women and a young boy wander around the city. From time to time the boy sees the figure of a chicken, Erni, appear, each time dressed differently. This short, which is part of a portmanteau film, was screened at the Aichi exhibition in Japan in 2005.

Qvid Tvm poster
NR

Mara Mattuschka's experimental film lures the viewer into a singular. powerfully illustrated and colourful picaresque world. Gucki, the landlady's daughter, has never forgotten this place of carnal pleasures and reconstructs her vision of spiritual and bodily devotion through observations of theatrical practise. QVID TVM is an excessively existential parable about the myriad crossing of paths between people - from humiliation to punishment, fulfillment to bliss.

Nachtreise poster
NR

A small bar on the outskirts of Vienna. Its foreign-born regulars live on the edge of society. The majority are illegal immigrants, unemployed and without financial resources, living at the edge of mere survival. For a small group of native Turks, this existence represents a transitory phase which might eventually lead to a better life. Cemo, one of them, is unable to carry on between hope and reality. Nachtreise is a milieu study which will acquaint its viewers with a group of people whose lives have not been touched by what is termed integration.

Shrill, Bright World poster
9.0

Three stories by three directors, three journeys into the world of teenagers and countercultures. The stories are interlaced with each other. Characters with a small performance in one story will play a major part in one of the other two stories so we will learn more about them, on the other hand central characters appear again in the periphery of one of the other stories. It is done in a casual way, comparable with the situation in daily life when two friends are running into each other by chance. Petra and Nicole in their shrill world of brightness. Loafing around, bumming and teasing guys.

AUN: The Beginning and the End of All Things poster
5.0

When looking for alternative energy sources, the Japanese scientist Sekai tragically dies. Twenty years later the Brazilian mathematician Euclides continues his research. The lack of an essential component won't allow a breakthrough. Only AUN, Sekai's son, seems to hold the key to protect mankind from self-destruction. In the aftermath of the nuclear tragedy in Fukushima the film appears like a prophecy. AUN's dream-like images, complemented by music from Christian Fennesz and Ryuichi Sakamoto, lead into a fantastic and exciting world, full of brightness and darkness of life.

Lipstick poster
10.0

Lipstick strives to depict the inner conflicts of the protagonist Vesna as subjectively as possible. Vesna, apparently unmoved by the armed conflicts in her homeland Yugoslavia, leads a happy-go-lucky life. A form of denial, the causes of which should be explored. Her visit in Budapest and therefore her compromise with her possibly true, though repressed, identity, evokes a feeling of happiness for a short time. The next morning, reality catches up with her again. She is taken off the train and is forced, since her passport and Austrian visa have both expired, to assume a new identity. Despite the futility of her undertaking, she refuses to make a statement concerning her person while in jail. What remains is the memory of a short-lived feeling of emotional success by delaying the course of events. The suggestion to consider a denial while in a condition of statelessness.
