VERS.AUGT
vers.augt highlights the very act of watching. In this sense, it is impossible not to think of the viewer’s eye, but above all, more generally, of cinema itself, which is capable of offering us the most diverse spectacles each time.

TIC TAC
In Tic Tac, Josephine Ahnelt chose to focus on bodies and faces, favouring moments of “waiting” or simple observation over actual action. And so the focus on emotions immediately becomes the film’s main protagonist.
PASOLINICODE 02112011
In pasolinicode 02112011, it is above all an atmosphere of sacredness that accompanies us from beginning to end, an essential component in paying sincere and reverent homage to great Pier Paolo Pasolini.
A DAY FOR A MIRACLE
A Day for a Miracle has the appeal of an adrenaline-fuelled thriller, but it is also an important human drama in which no one is truly innocent, and only courage and perseverance can truly save lives.
SUMMER HOLIDAY (VAGINALE VII)
The free singing in Summer Holiday (Vaginale VII) becomes almost a way to shake off a decidedly ill-fitting dress, to overcome the feeling of being trapped both physically and mentally. At the Vienna Shorts 2025.
COMING OF AGE
Fresh and light as a spring breeze, yet also deeply dramatic and moving, Coming of Age is a hymn to love and freedom. A love story between two young souls who must come to terms with the inevitable passing of time.
HOTEL ROOM
Hotel Room by Bernd Oppl simply offers us images of pure beauty. Images with a magnetic appeal that in studying rooms and spaces give us a true visual experience.
WARNING TRIANGLE
Warning Triangle skilfully plays with a few, simple elements that represent, at the same time, true cornerstones of film history, never entirely obsolete, but always topical and captivating. And so, inevitably, we also notice a subtle irony, together with a sincere reverence towards not only the films mentioned here, but also towards the entire seventh art.
MY BEST ENEMY
My Best Enemy is a feature film with an international scope, which draws heavily on mainstream US cinema. World War II and the Holocaust are recounted in Austria in an important film, in which, alongside the story of the two friends/enemies and the dramatic war, there is also a great homage to the art world and to beauty.
HELDENKANZLER
In Heldenkanzler we get a close look at the disturbing figure of Engelbert Dollfuss, whose voice-over tells us about the last years of his life. Two-dimensional drawings, a constant black and white only occasionally ‘contaminated’ by the red of the National Socialist flag or a few other details of the sets perfectly represent the gloom of the 1930s.
