  • Roesl`s Suitcase
    In einem Koffer im Keller ihrer Mutter in Kalifornien fand die Filmemacherin Briefe und Dokumente, die davon erzählen, wie sich die Naziannexion von Österreich auf die Bevölkerung auswirkte. Es ist die Geschichte ihrer jüdischen Großmutter, die 1939 von Wien nach New York ging und der Ungereimtheiten in der Familiengeschichte, die der Koffer enthüllt. Demgegenüber steht der Briefwechsel mit der Großmutter während der psychedelischen 60er. Der Film verbindet die Aufnahmen dreier Generationen: die 1947 Filme der Großtante, die Tonaufnahmen der Tante über ihre Jugend in Wien und Lennard´s eigene Lightshow-Filme.

  • Der schönste Tag - Wahrheit. Lüge. Erinnerung.
    Fabian Eder lässt Zeitzeug:innen der Shoah sprechen. Dass dies nicht mehr lange möglich ist, wird schmerzlich bewusst, wenn diese mehr und mehr von uns gehen, wie etwa Aba Lewit im letzten Jahr. Er erzählt hier eindringlich über seine Erlebnisse, die eigene Flucht und Deportation. Die direkten Dialoge zwischen Überlebenden und deren Nachkommen finden in Zugabteilen statt. Die Stimmung dort lässt viele Assoziationen zu, nur keinen Stillstand.

  • HOME IS HERE
    "...The visual style of the film follows the poetic sensibility of its protagonist. The camera often lingers on the textures of the home, the images of DoP Astrid Heubrandtner evoking the synthetic feel of the surfaces, and showing Hannah smell and feel her surrounding as much as seeing it. ..."
