BOOK FACTORY
In Book Factory, bright, vivid colours and figures halfway between reality and fantasy create that special atmosphere that makes us all feel like children again.

DON’T – DER ÖSTERREICHFILM
The message conveyed in Don’t – Der Österreichfilm is a kind of ‘denunciation’ against a country where certain dynamics from the past continue to repeat themselves and where no one has really learned anything from history.
MOVIES IN THE MIND
Movies in the Mind is a true declaration of love to cinema in all its forms. And cinema itself, in turn, should not be at all elitist, but, on the contrary, is something that belongs to each and every one of us. Michael Glawogger knew this well.
CHARMS INCIDENTS
Anything is possible in Charms Incidents. The series of events seems to follow no logic and what results are numerous highly Kafkaesque paradoxical situations.
LAMORTE
Despite unconvincing moments from a directorial point of view, in many respects Lamorte turned out to be quite courageous and forward-looking, a small gem in the filmography of Xaver Schwarzenberger and of his wife Ulrike.
TEMPO
If Tempo – Oscar-winning director Stefan Ruzowitzky’s first feature film – on the one hand treads the coming-of-age path already dealt with over and over again in Austria, on the other hand, shows a closer look than ever before at what is being realised at the same time in the rest of the world, resulting in a product with an international flavour with many typical features of 1990s mainstream cinema.
