Schlimmige Kreise stands out for its highly innovative staging, which is entirely digital. A staging in which the main protagonists on the movie screen are primarily bright colours in shades of red, green, blue, purple and pink. At the film review CinemAUSTRIA 2025/2026.
In making Tako Tsubo, Eva Pedroza and Fanny Sorgo opted for sophisticated watercolour drawings and very precise colour choices within a predominantly minimalist mise-en-scène, which proved to be the right solution for telling the protagonist’s unique story. At the festival CinemAUSTRIA.
In The Flounder, inspired by the fairy tale The Fisherman and his Wife by the Brothers Grimm, the images simply speak for themselves. And in little more than six minutes they are able to convey an important message by filling our eyes with pure beauty. At the festival CinemAUSTRIA.
Perfectly in line with the lyrics of the song, Bite me, Baby presents a surprising and courageous staging, in which psychedelic two-dimensional drawings create together with live action images a beautiful harmony. At the festival CinemAUSTRIA.
In Subtopic we never know what to expect, which incredible, magnetic images will appear before our eyes each time, which singular creatures we will encounter. At the festival CinemAUSTRIA.
*Women (Nico), starting from the figure of the legendary singer, opens up a complex and topical discourse, immediately taking on universal connotations and, at the same time, paying homage to an artist who shaped the history of music (and pop culture) of the last century. At the festival Sotto le Stelle dell’Austria 2023.
In The Body is so resilient, Moana Vonstadl has opted for a minimalist yet incredibly effective mise-en-scène. The figure of Eva has sharp teeth and eyes that yearn for something undefined. She needs to feed herself, to nourish her self, to free herself from the grey world in which she has been imprisoned for a long, long time. At the festival Sotto le Stelle dell’Austria 2023.
Under the endless Sky is a little poetic short film that in its apparent simplicity has found the right way to convey the idea of what the young director’s world was like. A few essential blue strokes represent each time a new image. A bright, proud yellow, meanwhile, serves as a background. The colours of the Ukrainian flag thus tell us an extremely intimate and personal story. At the festival Sotto le Stelle dell’Austria 2023.
With an animation that is indeed essential and minimalist, but also extremely colourful and rich in detail, Frida und Sisi Partner in Crime by Regine Kafaeder is an extremely free, living and pulsating work in its short but effective running time. At the festival Sotto le Stelle dell’Austria 2023.
Issues with my other Half is an extremely topical and surprising film. Not only the many potentialities of cinema, but also – and above all – external factors that have made us different from what we were only a few years ago are (almost) the absolute protagonists here. At the festival Sotto le Stelle dell’Austria 2023.
