THAT TO YOU
In That to You, Nana Swiczinsky simply told us about herself. And she did so through a little, precious film in which the constant search for new cinematic languages immediately takes centre stage.

DIE MINISTRANTEN
What will become of the young protagonists of Die Ministranten? Wolfram Paulus doesn’t want to give us definitive answers, but despite the dramatic nature of some events, he never fails to maintain a certain objectivity and indulgence towards each of them.
ERWIN AND JULIA
In Erwin and Julia, each of the protagonists seems never to be able to realise their dreams. Despite all the potential of the city of Vienna. Erwin, Wolf, but also Claudia and Karin live almost in a kind of limbo, perfectly aware of what they want to become, but somehow unable to achieve their goals. And what if their own goals are, in reality, mere illusions?
GOOD NEWS
Good News – Ulrich Seidl’s brilliant debut after a series of shorts and medium-length films – follows step by step the everyday life of all those workers, mainly from Bangladesh, who are hired by the major national newspapers in order to sell their newspapers on the streets of the city and at underground stations. A system, this one, which shows a class hierarchy more marked than ever, where the exasperated stillness of the lives of the upper class contrasts strongly with the instability, lack of certainty and security of the lives of the immigrants.
MEATGRINDER
We are spared nothing, during the screening of Meatgrinder. The director, with an extremely essential approach, gets straight to the point. And, likewise, a harsh, deliberately dirty aesthetic is perfectly appropriate for what Houchang Allayari wanted to denounce in this short but important film of his.
