Friday Night Horror

All sorts of trouble arise within a Viennese middle-class family, when they are visited by a bunch of Russian relatives.

A group of swim-crazy men in Frankfurt don't want to swim straight ahead any longer. A documentary dealing with a group of gay men who cannot be stopped by anything from realizing their dream of floating. Europe's only male synchronized swimming group performs striking supporting shows at swimming championships and is a constant part - not only - of the gay world of sports.

The Sackbauer family unexpectedly inherits a villa with a large garden in a cottage district in Lower Austria. The villa itself is in acceptable condition, but the garden is less so. Mundl quickly sets about sprucing it up with garden gnomes, lanterns, and lots of love.

Twenty-eight well-known filmmakers living and working in Austria were invited by WIENER MOZARTJAHR 2006, to produce associative miniatures on Mozart. Requirement: they had to be one-minute artistic short films. The directors come from a whole range of different backgrounds, ranging from animated, experimental and short film to documentaries and feature films. The result is a multi-facetted sampler of diverse formal and contextual positions with regard to Mozart’s person and his influence on today’s society, art and culture. The contributions run the gamut from experimental-conceptual statements through socio-critical and documentary observations to pithy short feature films.
