Film & Food: Focus on Switzerland
Cinema in the church and culinary delights from Switzerland in the romantic church yard: This year the Film&Food programme will present our westerly neighbour from its "sweetest" side, in a very special ambience, thus atmospherically counterpointing the "dark" film programme. The complimentary buffet will be provided by the Swiss Embassy in Vienna, so the culinary delights shouldn’t fall short of the cinematic ones by any means.
entry + buffet: 8 p.m. - start of film programme: 9 p.m.
Film programme: The Dark Side of Switzerland
Switzerland likes to show its sunny side abroad. We dare to highlight the less known side for a change, the dark side of Helvetia: where brokers slink to the toilet with pistols (Broke), frontier-guards discuss whether the artificial leg left behind by an asylum seeker should be disposed of seperately in the hazardous waste (Einspruch III), meat dumplings are rolled by bare beer bellies (Cevapcici) and car enthusiasts whisper terms of endearment to their Mantas and Ferraris (rasende liebe). A gloomy, hidden world, in which a hearty laugh is never far off.
