Four Minus Three by Adrian Goiginger is a feature film made up of glances, gestures, celebrations, objects and old videos that bring back memories that are both painful and wonderful at the same time. At the Berlinale 2026, Panorama section.
80 Plus deals with delicate and complex topics in a never banal or rhetorical way, attacking every hypocritical convention and staging first and foremost a great, unexpected friendship, with a tender and sensitive look at elderly people.
With 42plus Sabine Derflinger has given us a mature feature film that is never banal or rhetorical. An in-depth analysis of human relationships that soon turns out to be much more complex than it initially seemed.
Kat Rohrer’s What a Feeling is a brilliant comedy that, through paradoxical and hilarious scenes and – above all – thanks to the talent of the two protagonists, deals with topics that are decidedly delicate and much more complex than they might initially seem. At the Diagonale 2024.
In Operation White Christmas, successful action scenes and a good pace that characterises the entire feature film from beginning to end pleasantly entertain the viewer, giving him an experience that is rarely enjoyed in domestic cinema. At the K3 Film Festival 2023.
Serviam – I will serve immediately strikes us with its shots (all shot strictly with a fixed camera) of the schoolyard, but also of the interiors, so cold and perfectly tidy that they immediately convey a certain unease. A little girl’s voice recites a prayer. In the boarding school, life seems to proceed quietly and without any particularly noteworthy events. The feeling that, however, something terrible is about to happen accompanies us from beginning to end. At the festival Sotto le Stelle dell’Austria 2023.
Good feelings and stories with happy endings are always appreciated. Especially at Christmas time. And although Das Glück ist ein Vogerl does not stand out for special insights or directorial virtuosity, it works above all because of the excellent performances of the entire cast.
Divided into three episodes, Antares is a complex and layered fresco of contemporary society. Three stories, three different lifestyles, one setting. Antares does not only tell us about impossible loves, desperate loves, tormented loves and secret love affairs. Antares stages Love as utopia, a constant, desperate need for love that often also leads to a deep sense of loneliness.
With an essential mise-en-scène with clear references to poetic realism and where blue and red tones prevail, director Tim Oppermann contributes to the alienating effect of Frisch.
Disenchanted, rational and appropriately satirical – with even a touch of subtle irony – Lourdes, by pointing the finger at a hypocritical and “respectable” society that lives only on illusions, shows us a very different reality from the one we imagine.
