Illness, healing and health care systems have preoccupied the filmmaker and science journalist Kurt Langbein for decades. In 2012, he shared his account of being successfully treated for cancer in the TV documentary Miracle Healing. Now, in his highly personal feature documentary DYING FOR BEGINNERS, he explains that the illness has returned and depicts his showdown with mortality. In the context of today's high-tech medicine, he also appeals for a view of life that again accepts death as part of being human. 

Projekt Ballhausplatz ist der Titel eines Strategiepapiers, das Mitte der 2010er-Jahre im Umfeld um Sebastian Kurz entstand und minutiös dessen geplante Machtübernahme in Partei und Regierung darlegt. Der Filmmacher Kurt Langbein analysiert in PROJEKT BALLHAUSPLATZ den Höhenflug des österreichischen Ex-Kanzlers und die dabei so wirksamen politischen Mechanismen in Zeiten der vielfachen Verunsicherung.
