Film program
Even dreams off the drawing-board have a certain air about them: the eight films in this group invite us to gaze into the distance while at the same time appreciating the lovingly created detail. Whether a Viennese Travesty-star or the inhabitants of a Kurdish mountain village – they all want to go straight to the top. We get lost in the images, while the characters find their inner selves. To wake up with a smile on one’s face.
