Straßenbahnfahrt durch das alte Graz is a little gem that is perfectly in line with most of the films made at the time. World War I had ended about a year earlier. Life, however, had begun anew. The desire for a new beginning was stronger than ever. Restored by Filmarchiv Austria and available on the channel Filmarchiv On.
In A Day in Vienna, editing plays a key role. A highly experimental editing, which through associations of images conveys a very precise message. What does this remind us of?
The Ancestress, by Louise Kolm-Fleck and Jakob Fleck, is a very imperfect film, but nevertheless made with such grace and such a clear gaze that it rightfully ranks as a real gem. An important heritage of Austrian and world filmography.
