Dieter Kovačič’s In Trout we Dust is a particularly sophisticated and well-crafted documentary. A real pleasure for the eyes (and the ears), a brief but exciting journey into a world that few truly know from the inside.

In this hybrid and carefully conceived form, Die Passionsspiele im Tiroler Thiersee strikes us as particularly refined, a precious and rare historical document that sheds light on a reality still unknown to many people today. Restored by Filmarchiv Austria and presented on the Filmarchiv On channel.
Life in the small town flows peacefully. The camera, with its simple, essential shots, acts as a silent witness to it all. And through a direct, straightforward staging devoid of any virtuosity, Im alten Feldkirch finds its ideal form. Restored by Filmarchiv Austria and presented on the Filmarchiv On channel.
At a time when the consequences of the recent war were still quite evident, the image of a nation doing everything it could to start over was undoubtedly quite powerful. The documentary Leben am Wiener Naschmarkt, along with many other films of its kind, had precisely this aim. Restored by Filmarchiv Austria and presented on the Filmarchiv On channel.
Die alte Hungerburgbahn adopts a purely classic and linear directorial approach which, further enriched by a welcome touch of irony, has proved to be the right way to give us a comprehensive insight into life in that corner of Tyrol a few years after the end of World War I. Restored by Filmarchiv Austria and presented on the Filmarchiv On channel.
In Alltag in Steyr, a heartfelt and entertaining tribute to the history of cinema provides a welcome diversion within a documentary characterised by a purely classical directorial approach, which offers us a comprehensive insight into what life was like at the time in the little, picturesque town of Steyr. Restored by Filmarchiv Austria and presented on the Filmarchiv On channel.
The short documentary Salzburg um 1920 is a little gem of Austrian film history, but also an important document that offers a glimpse into life at that time. Restored by Filmarchiv Austria and presented on the Filmarchiv On channel.
With few captions and a directorial approach that could almost be described as excessively rudimentary, Die Produktion der Kronen Zeitung nevertheless succeeds in fully conveying the essence of a very significant institution, one which still plays a central role in Vienna today. Restored by Filmarchiv Austria and presented on the Filmarchiv On channel.
In Die junge Stadt, we are shown all the major innovations for children introduced in Vienna in the years immediately following World War II. Restored by Filmarchiv Austria and shown on the Filmarchiv On channel.
Heading is a brief and fascinating journey into a world we are all familiar with, but certain aspects of which we usually never analyse or observe.
