Malte Ludin

What would your family reminiscences about dad sound like if he had been an early supporter of Hitler’s, a leader of the notorious SA and the Third Reich’s minister in charge of Slovakia, including its Final Solution? Executed as a war criminal in 1947, Hanns Ludin left behind a grieving widow and six young children, the youngest of whom became a filmmaker. It's a fascinating, maddening, sometimes even humorous look at what the director calls "a typical German story." (Film Forum)

He's known as "Tyrol's Zappa" and a "real anarchist." Whether folk music, jazz or what's known as serious music, Werner "Preisegott" Pirchner has in a creative way greatly expanded upon the limited acoustic range of his homeland, enriching it with some unfamiliar sounds from around the globe. Whoever comes into contact with him, such as Josef Hader and Tobias Moretti, can sense the power of his music, lets it carry them away, and embraces it wholeheartedly.

Luck and tragedy call the tune. The inside of one of the worlds most acclaimed orchestras – the Wiener Symphoniker where musicians exist between climax and inner ordeal.

Using satire as a method of criticism, the film aims to show the ideological constitution of the television stations. Television programs are examined in terms of their mode of operation: Educational programs, family programs within an advertising framework, news, entertainment shows, political magazines are identified as instruments of domination that direct our awareness of social interests without the public itself having access to express opinions in the medium.
