LIEBE TV
Hubert Sielecki’s Liebe TV is a careful and ironic analysis of the world of broadcasting and its relationship with the audience in the postmodern era.
Genre: satirical
DRACULA
Radu Jude’s Dracula is a highly satirical and irreverent, yet incredibly sharp and intelligent feature film, which from the very first shots presents itself as “the film you don’t expect”. At the Viennale 2025.
HEAST
The short film Heast is a lesson in visual and auditory aesthetics, a little punk, a little futuristic, intended to celebrate and then fragment Austrian nationalism. At the Vienna Shorts 2025.
CEROLAX II
Cerolax II is a sharp, clever, but also ironic satire on the world of advertising and, more generally, on the media, which every day present us with countless products that, according to what they say, will change our lives forever.
SCANDAL IN BAD ISCHL
Although an overall pleasant staging, Scandal in Bad Ischl appears rather anachronistic today. What remains is the image of an era and a society that was at times too close-minded and often ridiculous, in a pleasant hour and a half.
COLOR TEST PROGRAM
Color Test Program soon turns out to be a satire of a great institution like Austrian state television, while ‘playing’ with this ‘new’ medium of expression called color.
PEACOCK
Intelligent, at times hilarious and decidedly merciless, Peacock shows us a world in which every aspect of everyday life is studied and planned down to the smallest detail, leaving no place for spontaneity and true feelings. At the 81st Venice Film Festival, section Settimana Internazionale della Critica.
VENI VIDI VICI
Veni vidi vici is to all intents and purposes one of Daniel Hoesl and Julia Niemann’s most mature films (both stylistically and semantically). Or, better still, a summa of what their cinema has been to date. At the Diagonale 2024.
PARADISE: FAITH
Paradise: Faith shows us not only religious fanaticism in one of its most extreme forms. No. In Paradise: Faith, in fact, Ulrich Seidl shows us religion lived in a maniacal way that almost seems to forget the value of human beings themselves. Special Jury Prize at the 2012 Venice Film Festival.
CLUB ZERO
Club Zero is a mercilessly sincere feature film, extremely rigorous in its mise-en-scene, which finds its ideal mood in a sharp irony. The image of society depicted here has the sharp, vivid colours of a world in which no half-measures are allowed. Just like in the cinema of Hausner, who has been minutely analysing every single aspect of this very world for years now. In competition at the Cannes Film Festival 2023.
