Große Liebe

Interview film with the protagonists of the New German Cinema in 1966.

The lord of the castle is found shot. His sister takes care of the appropriate wake, a firearm-happy guest from Spain romps around in the walls. An Italian listens to records of Bartók. The police doesn't appear.

In his first film work, Kubelka evokes episodes of flirtation, courtship, and break-ups, played out against a series of non-corresponding audio excerpts.

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.

Five young writers from the 'Forum Stadtpark' in Graz who were little-known back then play bizarre characters from their manuscripts, which often appeared in book form much later.

A young maid is seduced by a farmhand and subsequently ostracized by her rural community. She wanders through a desolate landscape in a state of growing despair and isolation.

H. C. Artmann transforms himself into some of the characters he invented, who bring his texts to adventurous life.

Out of a desire for adventure, a middle-class university student (Mike Sarn) joins a political revolution. Unexpectedly, the women are victorious; they dress in uniforms and proclaim a military dictatorship to be ruled by a senile puppet. All writers are persecuted and tortured. Of course, the public takes the side of the attractive meter maids. Retaliatory strikes are sometimes successful, but the country's top minds are gradually wiped out.
