SPAIN
Spain is a film that plays on the concepts of time, violence, but also loneliness and destiny through many stories of as many people who inevitably end up influencing one another.
Actor: Philipp Stix
DRACULA
Radu Jude’s Dracula is a highly satirical and irreverent, yet incredibly sharp and intelligent feature film, which from the very first shots presents itself as “the film you don’t expect”. At the Viennale 2025.
STELLA. A LIFE.
In Stella. A Life., the seemingly simple but eventful plot unfolds, which is the life of one of the many people who used to denounce Jews, a traitor on many levels, through 40 years of personal but also German history.

THE ROYAL GAME
The Royal Game is an endless journey between its protagonist’s past and present. The Royal Game is a rollercoaster ride, the meeting point between the outside world and the inner world. An experience that, at times, can really hurt.
71 FRAGMENTS OF A CHRONOLOGY OF CHANCE
It is based on a real-life news story 71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance. In the film – which is divided into five chapters, each concerning a particular day – everything takes place from October 12 to December 23, 1993. Everything leads up to a single event in which all the characters will be involved in one way or another. But how important is the human being in this feature film by Michael Haneke?
ME, WE
Close-ups of thoughtful faces, contemplative sunsets over the sea, but also colourful handprints creating a big painting fully convey the essence of Me, We. At the Diagonale 2021.
MADEMOISELLE PARADIS
The extreme realism of Northern Skirts gives way here to an impeccable elegance. And even if we are nostalgic for that suburbia so well depicted in the debut feature by the Viennese director, we have to admit that Mademoiselle Paradis shows a marked personality.
THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS
It is no coincidence that a feature film like The Best of all Worlds has been a great success with audiences. All of this is due to skilful directing, but above all it is also due to two perfect protagonists, now totally confused in the cold outskirts of Salzburg, now simply happy to be in each other’s company. All this makes for a nostalgic glimpse into the world of childhood, when one was still too young to understand the ugliness of the adult world.
