The 727 Days Without Karamo

Anja Salomonowitz portrays three women from her family who were still almost girls during the Nazi era. They stood on different sides, present history differently today, and belong to different memory collectives: her great-aunt survived Auschwitz. Her nanny was a socialist and supported her uncle in the resistance. Her grandmother lived in Graz during the war and did what most people did: nothing. The film confronts family narratives, examines the aftermath of history and the mechanisms of its transmission. Preceded by a work by Linda Christanell – "composed of fragments of reality and assembled into a new space."

It is about a girl's everyday life at the end of her school days, trying to find a way into society and her own life.

A poetic portrait of the Austrian painter Maria Lassnig.

Five people in their everyday surroundings tell stories that they have never experienced personally. They recount tales of people involved in trafficking in women.

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.

Four loosely connected stories tell of the here and now, where human trafficking, the vagaries of people smugglers, violence against women, restrictive immigration laws, gambling addiction, debt and business deals of all kinds are the order of the day.

“Getting married, starting a family, growing old together. What constitutes a perfect life and how do ideas, longings and desires meet a consumer-oriented society that is always striving for better? The artistic documentary accompanies Julia and Xava at sales fairs on the topics of marriage, baby, pet and age. Between offers such as mommy fitness classes, the perfect wedding pictures or the smartly designed family SUV, they deal with role and gender images and the expectations that come along with them. WE WANT MORE IN THE LAND OF UNICORNS is the narrative of a journey that invites the audience together with the filmmakers to reflect on gender roles, perfection, competition, the good life and what it takes.”

A film about the artist Daniel Spoerri. It's actually a film about a thought by Daniel Spoerri: a film almost without Daniel Spoerri, it's actually mostly acted out by a child - to say no less than that everything somehow goes on in life, even if you die in between.
