Aida is running. Racing desperately, helplessly between the central offices of the Crisis Unit at the UN safe area and the perimeter fence, which is secured by armed soldiers. As a local interpreter, can she possibly do anything to help the inhabitants of her home town? Get her own family in saftety? Rescue at least one of her sons? In her film QUO VADIS, AIDA? Jasmila Žbanić has captured the harrowing events of the Srebrenica massacre in 11 July 1995 with compelling immediacy, earning her an Oscar nomination for Best International Feature and the Independent Spirit Award.

It’s a daring step for Sabine and her two sons, Hendrik and Eddie, moving from northern Germany to a village in the southernmost corner of Austria to begin a new life after the death of her husband. When their new house in Carinthia starts to display signs that invisible forces are at work, the boys find two courageous kids their own age in the village, and the gang of four set about exposing mysteries that have been hidden for years. THE SCARY HOUSE is Daniel Prochaska’s cinema debut, a striking bid to initiate younger audiences into horror movies with a light-hearted touch.

Pavel Cuzuioc’s second feature documentary pointed out by the film critics: PLEASE HOLD THE LINE wins the FIPRESCI Prize at the goEAST Festival of Central and Eastern European Film. “The film shows”, stated the jury, “intense human relationships that normally appear to be simple everyday interactions.”

Ahmet Simsek has lived his life in Austria since childhood. As a medic in the Austrian army, state champion in boxing, son of a Turkish-Muslim family in Vienna, he could be tagged with several labels at once. But Jannis Lenz goes against common expectations: in his portrait SOLDIER AHMET he follows a multitalented young man who hasn't cried since he was twelve and had to learn early on to craft his own place.

July 1995, Srebrenica. General Mladic sweeps to power, the UN mission fails miserably, the Bosnian population is massacred.  UN interpreter Aïda is obliged to watch helplessly as a tragedy of unimaginable proportions befalls the city and her family within one day. Filmmaker Jasmila Žbanić, originally from Bosnia, plunges into the epicentre of this crime against humanity in QUO VADIS, AÏDA?, 25 years after the mass murder at Srebrenica, when betrayal and failure led to the deaths of thousands of people. She depicts the terrible force of the collective drama as it strikes each individual character in the film. Vienna-based coop99 filmproduktion is one of the international co-producers on this project, which will be among the 18 competitors for the Golden Lion at the 77^th Venice Film Festival. A conversation with the DoP of QUO VADIS, AÏDA?, Christine A. Maier.

They were born within the same generation and came from the same city. They were virtually neighbours, sometimes colleagues and sometimes rivals, but above all: in the 1970s and 80s they were the queens of international women’s chess. The Georgian women Nona Gaprindashvili, Nana Alexandria, Maia Chiburdanidze and Nana Ioseliani were dominant at the very peak of female chess for almost 30 years and also challenged the elite male players. In Georgia they were national heroines, but in the West – outside specialist circles – they are almost completely unknown. Filmmaker Tatia Skhirtladze, whose home is Vienna, plans to change all this with GLORY TO THE QUEEN.

Pinkafeld is a small town in Austria where the Social Democratic Party (SPÖ) has absolute majority in the town council. Pinkafeld is also the hometown of far-right politician Norbert Hofer from the Freedom Party (FPÖ)… and 70% of voters in this “red” community voted for him in the Austrian presidential election. Filmmaker Elke Groen examines the growing polarization of society and the completely blurred ideological lines revealed by people’s voting habits. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE ON EARTH is an attempt to understand.

Cycling from Austria to Australia. It sounds like the sort of thing two harden triathletes might try, to set themselves a new challenge. But Andreas Buciuman and Dominik Bochis, two averagely fit guys, wanted to see if they could handle an adventure taking them to the other side of the world. The bicycle seemed ideal: fast enough to manage the distance in about a year but slow enough to meet the world on the way. AUSTRIA2AUSTRALIA documents a courageous cycling quest across three continents, a story of daring to dream and having the determination to believe in it.

Arnold is a renowned architect. His projects venture higher and higher into the sky, and his family life also appears to be a flawless edifice. But it turns out to have extremely fragile foundations when his wife tells him one day that she needs a donor kidney. Inspired by the theatre piece Die Niere, Michael Kreihsl puts a single question to two sound couples in RISKS AND SIDE EFFECTS and catapults them out of their structured happiness.

When Jessica Hausner began studying Directing at the Vienna Film Academy in the early 1990s she felt not only that powerful female role models in the cinematic arts were lacking but also that there was not sufficient encouraging feedback about her own early narrative attempts. The short film Inter-View marked the conclusion of her studies and the beginning of a career which took her straight to the top festivals of Cannes and Venice. From that moment on there was no lack of resonance. Now Jessica Hausner is returning to the place where she began her artistic endeavors as Professor of Directing – the first woman in almost 70 years of Film Academy history to hold that position.

By the middle of March only 21 of the scheduled 32 shooting days for Sebastian Meise’s second feature film GREAT FREEDOM Freedom, with Georg Friedrich and Franz Rogowski in the leading roles, were in the can when everything was shut down. But at the end of June FreibeuterFilm was the first production company to resume filming, and they finished the shoot. A conversation with the producers about their current feature film GREAT FREEDOM, Stefan Ruzowitzky’s HINTERLAND and the new approach to production, in zones and on Zoom.

For Elias, a farmer’s son in the Zillertal valley, the future seemed mapped out from early childhood. But when he comes of age and is due to inherit his father’s extensive property, he simply runs away: from the valley, from the expectations, from the money and from the greed. And he does find fulfilment – in total solitude, with a frugal existence above the tree line. Until 40 years later, when he turns his back on the life of a hermit as radically as he once embraced it. Initially a play by Felix Mitterer, MÄRZENGRUND inspired producer Michael Cencig (Metafilm) to produce his first work of fiction for the cinema and prompted filmmaker Adrian Goiginger to base his eagerly-awaited second feature film on the haunting character of this loner.

Hubert Sauper‘s films are voyages of discovery in the global present. While he exposed the networks rooted in colonialism from an African perspective in Darwin’s Nightmare and We Come as Friends, he has adopted a new focus in EPICENTRO. His new film is a multi-faceted essayist encounter with the Caribbean island of Cuba. In it the filmmaker explores the historical background to the many connotations surrounding power and longing here, a story which proceeds in a spiral of liberation and conquest. A dynamic which is driven in no small part by the powerful medium of cinema itself.

Inspired by an extraordinary teacher in a Vienna prison, in FOX IN A HOLE Arman T. Riahi tells the story of young people who have come into conflict with the law, a system that locks them up in order to rehabilitate them, and people who want to keep the teenager’s future open for them.

Mario and Lenz have known each other since they were small. Now they are both 20 and determined to escape the confines of this mountain village. Lenz, son of the local vintner, has clearly been dealt a better hand in this respect than the self-destructive dreamer Mario. However, a tragic turn of events shatters the status quo. Evi Romen’s feature film debut WHY NOT YOU features a village in the 21st-century where the old order is collapsing and yet still dominant, depicting the rollercoaster ride of a young man who is completely disoriented and yet senses there must be a place for him too, somewhere.
