Christoph Schwarz

Filmmaker Christoph Schwarz is broke. Fortunately, he gets an offer from ORF. But does Schwarz really want to document his self-experiment as an environmental activist? Wouldn’t it be better to reorient the longterm experiment into a critique of capitalism and secretly buy the desired weekend house with the film budget? A self-mocking film about double standards, which playfully and humorously shows that the problems you clear away, are often smaller than the new ones that you thereby create.

The Vienna University of Economics and Business, first built in the 1980s, is facing a not so certain future despite grand announcements: should the building be demolished or can it possibly be renovated? And if so, how? Christoph Schwarz poses questions that go beyond the redesign of the site and the building itself.

Christoph Schwarz is a fictitious artist, impersonated by the intrapersonal working group ARGE Schwarz, consisting of: Daniel Bleninger (organization/public relations), Blacky Palermo (representation), Christian Schwab (production), Kiki Panini (recreation/inspiration). In Employees Meeting, these four sub-characters discuss the benefits of this company structure in a relaxed studio atmosphere - and the last time they had to be ashamed of the work of another department.
