How to Steal a Kiss Alles Schwindel

Never Kiss a Christmas Angel! Weihnachtsengel küsst man nicht

The Kiss has gone. It’s been stolen! For Leopold, the owner of the world-famous Klimt painting, it’s the best and only good piece of news he’s had in years. He isn’t allowed to sell the Klimt, but with the insurance money he can finally pay off his debts. However, he hasn’t reckoned with Isabella. She knows that the stolen Klimt is a fake and is holding Leopold, of all people, responsible for finding it again before the whole swindle is exposed – a refreshing comedy of errors with TV stars such as Ursula Strauss, Benno Fürmann, Udo Samel and many more.

Lina is perfectly satisfied with her casual job as a model in adverts and small photo shoots, with her relationship with Alex, who has at least promised to leave his wife soon, with her best friend, Nettie, and generally with her life overall. It could all be so simple and harmonious. But during the run-up to Christmas, Lina realises that life could have even better things in store for her. Rudi, for example. At first, though, the somewhat eccentric reindeer farmer and former advertising executive doesn’t make it at all easy for Lina to tell that he could be her Mr. Right.

Live is Life – Late Bloomers Live is Life – Die Spätzünder

Live is Life – No Time to Lose Live is Life – Der Himmel soll warten

Jail sentence or community service? 100 days of pushing senior citizens around in their wheelchairs in a retirement home is a 100 times better than life behind bars. Wanted by the cops, kicked out of his own band, Rocco hits bottom. But his seniors haven’t forgotten him, and now they want him to form a band with them so that they can win the band contest’s 100,000 euro prize and buy their freedom from the hated home director. “Rocco and the Pacemakers” is born, and they’re out to rock ’n’ roll!

Since their big hit, “Live is Life”, Rocco and the Pacemakers have made the most of their fame with countless gigs. But even though their music makes them feel youthful, they haven’t actually got any younger. After one of the band members has a dizzy spell, the group, with Degenhard and Sissy leading the way, decide to put an end to the tour. Rocco takes their wishes on board with a heavy heart. And so they return to the retirement home, where in the meantime Rocco’s flame, Marina, has become the warden. The gentle Marina may have put a stop to the harsh regime of her predecessor, Frau Glück, but now the pendulum is swinging too far in the other direction.

An extraordinary comedy about seniors in a rock band which was that successful that a second part followed.

Code Name “Kidon” Deckname „Kidon“

A guest falls onto the roof of a taxi from the top floor of a hotel near Vienna’s Opera House. He is dead. But is it suicide or murder? The dead man is Dr. Bansari, an Iranian diplomat and nuclear physicist. The Iranian Embassy and Austrian Foreign Ministry immediately weigh in. Both try to keep the case strictly under wraps, but the investigating team of Moritz Eisner and Bibi Fellner will not be deterred from pressing ahead with their enquiries. In the process they stumble across business dealings that a lobbyist is pursuing for a high-tech company. This company manufactures pumps and valves that could possibly be used in atomic reactors. A major deal has just been closed and the goods are thought to be making their way to Iran via third countries. This, at least, is the possible assumption of the Israeli secret services, who are suspected of having a hand in the death of Dr. Bansari and of sending an assassination squad.

Unforgotten Unvergessen

Burnt Hopes Angezählt

Moritz Eisner has a serious problem: He has been shot and as a result has retrograde amnesia. In other words he can remember some things, but others not at all. Furthermore, nobody knows what he was doing. Despite being sick, Moritz looks in his office for clues, but his boss sends him home again. Eventually Eisner sets out to discover what actually happened. He takes up residence in the local inn, where the incident took place, and is soon recognised by some of the village’s inhabitants. Little by little, pieces of the puzzle come to light, and when a body is found in the place where Moritz was also shot, it seems that the case might have something to do with the far-right movement.

A twelve-year old boy on his BMX bike sprays an ex-prostitute with a petrolfilled water gun as she stands on the street, smoking. She goes up in flames and dies of her burns. The boy is caught. But because of his age he cannot be prosecuted. Bibi Fellner, formerly a vice officer, quickly feels at home in the environment that she has known for decades. The scene is extremely brutal. It is ruled by Bulgarians, Turks and Chechens. The boy is a Bulgarian whose mother is being made to work under duress as a clandestine prostitute by a pimp who compels women to work for him. He forced the boy to set fire to the ex-prostitute because she betrayed him and put him in prison, from where he has recently been released …

Four Women and a Funeral Vier Frauen und ein Todesfall

Julie, Maria, Sabine and Henriette – four remarkable women sharing an exceptional pastime – join forces in order to bring some excitement to the boring village life by suspecting murder in all those cases which initially seem to point to the opposite. Never failing to be present at any village funeral, they investigate the deaths by unnatural cause in a highly unconventional way. In the second season of the series, Henriette helps out Julie with a friendly turn, indispensable to Julie’s life and as a consequence has to go to jail for quite some time. Mona, a young community doctor with investigative skills and medical expertise, joins the team. Due to her work abroad her sister Lola quickly takes her place in the third season and it doesn’t take long until the next case gets them going.

The good-looking young woman handles the balancing act between her job and parental duties with humour. Even if her teenage twins keep her on her toes, she goes all out for the pursuit of criminals. That professional and private life isn’t always separable, is not least due to her ex-husband, the chief of forensics: Some teasing is part of the daily routine, and it may well happen, that childrearing is discussed on the crime scene.

Braunschlag Braunschlag

Braunschlag is a more or less idyllic place in Austria, whose inhabitants are a league of their own. Among others there’s a former beauty queen, a UFO landing site operator, a pair of weird doctors and the gouvernor’s nephew. Gerhard Tschach, mayor of Braunschlag, has a problem: After several failed business ventures, his town is bankrupt. Therefore, with his best friend, disco‑owner Richard Pfeisinger, he decides to fake a Marian apparition, to make tourists flood the ailing town and bring about the hopedfor financial recovery. Braunschlag starts to flourish, but the two hard-drinking men soon lose control. Somewhere between the delusions of the locals, pressure from the state capital, intractable marital problems and the Vatican, the situation escalates more and more – and the miracle of Braunschlag is becoming a nightmare fast.

Paul Kemp – No Big Deal Paul Kemp – Alles kein Problem

Paul Kemp is a mediator by profession. He is a trained psychologist and sociologist with a big heart and understanding of all of people’s problems. The clients who come to his practice come from all sections of society and guide him into the field of human shortcomings, where he is needed – and able – to demonstrate his skills as a mediator and arbitrator which result often in highly original solutions. But whilst he deals imaginatively and nimbly with the conflicts of others, Paul Kemp has very little grip on his private life and family, where things are increasingly getting out of hand. He has to face his wife’s relationship with their neighbour, Christian, and has problems with his business partner, who has driven the company into debt and made a run for it. And Paul Kemp is also involved in a short-term relationship with Lisa that is developing into a long-term catastrophe.

Whether sparks are flying with the neighbours, your best friend has been the victim of a crime or a drug dealer is making trouble – the police is there to take care of law and order. However, cops are only human, too. Parents who refuse to believe the news that their child has died, teachers who are afraid of their pupils and friendships that are put to severe tests are as much on the agenda as the kind of questions that cops also have to ask themselves over and over again, such as are compromises essential, or is it more important to stick to one’s own principles? What is stronger – one’s profession or family ties?

Mr. Punch Servus Kasperl

“Is everybody out there? Yesssss!” The famous tag-line used to start the show by Mr. Punch or “Kasperl”, as he is called in German-speaking countries, is well known by every child. The household name of the Austrian childrens television has entertained his fans for over five decades. To ensure the traditional children’s hero will be able to amuse children for another 50 years the ORF has revamped the show and redesigned its star. The core of the show is an imaginative adventure story, presented in a traditional puppetshow style, with Kasperl and his friends. Interactivity is an integral part of the show as Kasperl rhymes and sings with the kids. Kasperl’s adventures are about friendship, helping others and solving problems by using one’s wits. “Kasperl” represents entertainment for young and old – traditional puppet-show at its finest!

Get the Knack! Genau so geht’s!

The focus of every story in “Get the Knack!” is the question “how does it actually work?”. The aim is to bring about the “Eureka effect” for every viewer as the penny finally drops at the end of each item. Every episode is a grab bag of “Eureka” surprises – nevertheless, there are recurrent themes to which the viewer can look forward. Subjects range from the high-tech to supposedly boring everyday objects. In exciting experiments viewers discover, for example, how to make clouds in a plastic bottle or how to make a piece of soap swim. Foolproof instructions and simple ingredients mean that the experiments can immediately be imitated at home. “Get the Knack!” is an entertaining science show with modern visual language and a high cutting rate.

7 Wonders 7 Wunder

Explorer Express Forscherexpress

How does a magician get a rabbit into his top hat? What is a magic cup and how is it made? “Enchant and astound” – that is the tagline of this children’s show! The makers of Explorer Express whisk young viewers away to the astonishing world of artifice and magic. Children are given an insight into the world of artists and illusionists through exciting magic tricks and handicraft work, which they are encouraged to imitate. Some of the best kept magician’s secrets are also revealed: Cuddly toys miraculously disappear and heads are made to turn around!

Big and small miracles, the obvious spectacular as well as hidden sensations – all this is shown in the popular science magazine for children “7 Wonders” created and hosted by Thomas C. Brezina. Together with his pilot “Nelson”, he is travelling the world in their flying Wonder Express “Crazy Lola” to present seven wonders each show – be it the Dead Sea, in which Thomas reads a newspaper whilst swimming, the language of dolphins, historical sensations that still astound us today and “do it yourself wonders” that show children how they too can create something amazing. There are things to marvel at everywhere, not only far away but right around the corner.

Why does the koala bear have a speckled posterior? Can plants sweat or air be liquid? And how can you transfer news from one continent to another without any electricity? These and many more questions are answered in this extraordinary and successful series for young researchers from 8 to 12 years. Travelling through time, space, air and water, Thomas C. Brezina and Kati Bellowitsch take you on the special Explorer Express en route to “discover, experience, investigate and do it yourself”. During these exciting trips the two presenters reveal incredible facts about nature, animals, technology, physics, chemistry and history. They also conduct experiments for viewers to do themselves at home. Each episode of the series features interesting stories, stunning experiments and vivid explanations.

Nini is a wild flower. Her world is colourful and full of little miracles. Nini has got a lot of friends and a lot of stories to tell. She is friends with Fred the frog, who likes to whistle. She meets Teethie the traveling toothbrush, she laughs together with the violet flowers Villi, Velli, Valli and Vulli.

Did you know that crabs can do karate, pigs glow in the dark and cockroaches have sex with their heads detached? The Science Busters explain the physics behind oddities of the animal world, such as how sea snails learn for their high school diploma, when waterbears reproduce like Boris Becker and why jewel beetles always lose when they play spin the bottle. Top science and top class humour need not be enemies! This is demonstrated by a cabaret artist and his two scientists in new episodes of their mega-succesful stage show with their own experiments and punchlines. The popular science cabaret returns.

Orlando Orlando

The hero, Orlando, loses his mind thanks to his unrequited love for Angelica, the Queen of Cathay. Angelica is in love with Medoro, who has left the shepherdess, Dorinda, because of her. However, the master of events is a friend of Orlando, the magician, Zoroastro. Freed from his love delusion with his help, disappointed, Orlando turns away from love and back to combat and glory. “Orlando” represents the end of an era, but at the same time constitutes an interesting new beginning in Handel’s oeuvre, since the composer moved away dramatically and musically from established artistic traditions, by for example, reducing the da capo arias or breaking up their strict form.

Attila Attila

Inspired by Friedrich Ludwig Zacharias Werner’s drama “Attila, König der Hunnen” (1809), Giuseppe Verdi composed the enthralling score of his opera “Attila” : Verdi created rousing and immediately accessible choruses, arias and duets with expansive melodies for the bloodthirsty story of the battle between the heathen invaders and Christian Italy under the leadership of Rome. The work is bursting with energy and belongs unmistakably to Verdi’s first successful period. The individual characters of the protagonists are less well defined but full of passion, a circumstance that elicited great enthusiasm when the work was first performed.

On the occasion of the 25th day of death of the famous composer Herbert von Karajan ORF presents the “Best of Karajan”. There are very few legends such as Herbert von Karajan! His name is a synonym for musicality, perfection and passion. Comparable perhaps only with Enrico Caruso or Maria Callas, but with the exception that the conductor could eternally preserve a great part of his oeuvres thanks to the television era. His career is accompanied by very early recordings and even the very young Karajan is documented on film. His last life decade was dedicated to quality documentation on a very high level of his most important oeuvres for future generations.

Will the brown shadow of Austria’s most important cultural export ever fade away? This extraordinary documentary highlights the consistency with which the Vienna Philharmonics charged a commission of historians to clear their past. Archive material that has never been shown before gives incredible insights into the Nazi past of Austria’s most famous orchestra.

Submerged History – Stilt Houses in Europe Ertauchte Geschichte – Pfahlbauten in Europa

The United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing, known as the Shakers, are mostly known for their cultural contributions and their model of equality of the sexes. They are famed for their handicrafts. The North American Shakers have been praising God in their work. However, their anti-carnal theology led to their demise – a captivating report on the last Shakers.

Winter 2013 sees the opening of the 248 metrehigh DC Tower designed by the French architect, Dominque Perrault. Starting from this giant made of glass and steel, the film sets out on a journey through new architectural highlights.

This documentary takes a journey 6,000 years back in time to the late Neolithic and early Bronze ages, which is when the first over-water settlements on stilts, which are described here, were built. The greatest surprise during filming was how sensationally fresh and unscathed the finds that were uncovered from the mud appeared to be. The same applies to all of the wooden household contents that have been uncovered, such as bowls and baskets, as well as the remains of food, materials, ropes and threads. This factor was decisive in UNESCO deciding to place at least some of the approximately 1,000 sites in the Alpine region under protection as world heritage sites.

A Cowboy Church in California Fest im Sattel – Eine Cowboykirche in Kalifornien

A World Through Glasses Reiseckers Reisen

Time seems to have stood still in the small Californian town of Norco. Although the 25,000-strong community is barely an hour away from Los Angeles, there is no hint of the fast-paced, urban life here. Hay bales pile up at the side of the road and the main means of transport are on horseback. After all, there are more horses in Norco than there are residents. And in Norco a traditional church has become a cowboy church. The services are held outdoors, instead of organ music country songs are played on the banjo, and worshippers pray from the saddle – in muddy boots and dirty shirts. American traditions, a longing for days gone by and a close connection to nature come together in the cowboy church to produce an extraordinary yet warm and romantic picture.

“A World Through Glasses” is an innovative and personal travel documentary in episode form. A camera concealed in his eyeglasses and an audio recorder in his pocket, the narrator encounters his subjects in his own way and gets them to tell the stories of their lives, their daily routine, or whatever oddities interest them. Thanks to his spy camera one can feel like part of the story rather than just spectator. “A World Through Glasses” is a combination of a documentary and a road movie which seeks out the unusual and encounters the country and its people in a refreshingly new way. Special Highlight: USA

It’s a Kind of Magic – Christmas in Innsbruck Magische Weihnachten in Innsbruck

Dark Days and Rough Nights – Mysterious Christmas Stories Wildes Treiben an dunklen Tagen – Weihnachtsgeschichten in den Rauhnächten

Christmas in the west of Austria is a winter dream, a romantic fairytale between the snow-covered mountains. Innsbruck celebrates Christmas with a lot of specialties like the traditional arrival-procession of Santa Claus which starts in the romantic city part St. Nikolaus, the magnificently decorated, medieval old town with its Christmas fair. However, there are many other Christmas miracles like the special, hand-made candles, the manufactured bells of the bell foundry or a holy mass which is held early in the morning.

While everybody knows the beautiful, holy and peaceful Christmas stories one main Christmas story which was supposed to happen in the pre-Christian time has nearly been forgotten. This was a time where the dark days and nights have not only been celebrated but they where also populated by wild women, witches and talking animals. What was the story behind this wild hunt and those women? Were they really dangerous for men? Is it true that if they got in contact with the wild women they lost their sight and became blind? This documentary leads through a mysterious Christmas world and tells about talking animals, exciting Christmas witches and a lot of other Christmas unrevealed secrets.

The ceremonies continue until the 6th of January. Up to then one could get a lot of impressions of Christmas in Innsbruck, also some which are apparently hidden. Let yourself dive into the unique magic of Christmas .

Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Mary Magdalene are possibly the names With the introduction of retirement towards the end of the 19th century, the that spring to one’s mind first when thinking of Jesus of Nazareth. In the way in which life in old age is seen has changed fundamentally. Today in gospels and epistles of the New Testament, the women around Jesus play the western world people spend almost one third of their lives in retirement a very special role, which, over the course of Church history has been – a phase of life that previously did not exist in human history. How are repressed. It was the women, Jesus’ female disciples, according to the gos- today’s older people finding their place in society? How are they spending pels, who remained true to Jesus in his most difficult hours on the cross and their sunset years? How do they themselves see their position in their social who were the first to bear witness to his resurrection. Women such as the environment? Attitudes to age act as a kind of guideline for – as well as exdeaconess and abbess, Phoebe of Cenchreae, or the apostle, Junia, were pectations of – the behaviour of older people. What changes are academics the equals of the other (male) disciples, led communities, were apostles discovering as far as attitudes to age are concerned? What is the experience just like the Twelve. of older people who are confronted by these images daily? And how much does real life in old age differ from our ideas of ageing? Who were the women with whom Jesus of Nazareth surrounded himself? What were his relationships with them? And what role did they play in the imitation of Christ, in the first Christian communities?

India’s Rug-Manufacturers – A Tragic Carpet Ride Flieg, Teppich flieg! – Fairer Lohn für harte Arbeit

India’s Cotton – Tears, Sweat and Hope Indiens Baumwolle – Stoff aus Schweiß und Tränen

Today, India is the undisputed and largest exporter of hand-made carpets. 400,000 people live from weaving carpets, whilst 2 million are involved in their production somewhere along the line. And even though these works of art fetch very high prices in Europe or America, the wages and working conditions of the craftsmen and women are still in a sorry state. Since 1995, Label Step, the fair trade organisation, has worked to bring about an improvement in the living conditions of the workers, and has definitely registered some success.

Cotton is also known as white gold. After China, India is the world’s largest producer. But even white gold has dark shadows. Falling prices mean that millions of small farmers and harvesters in India have barely enough to survive on. And even though only five percent of farmland in India is planted with cotton, 50 percent of all of the pesticides used fall on cotton fields, which, in addition to being an economic catastrophe, is also an ecological one. But there is renewed hope for the small farmers and seasonal workers, as organic cotton experiences a boom. Minimum wages are guaranteed and child labour is forbidden. This is allowing many to dream again. Not of palaces and of gold, but of a somewhat better, fairer life.

At the heart of this documentary is a journey along the so-called “carpet road” in the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, which is one of the most backward states in India. The documentary shows the life of agricultural workers, weavers, dyers and traders, and flies with the carpets to Europe.

The Near-Death Phenomenon – Is There Life After Death? Phänomen Nahtod – Gibt es ein Leben nach dem Tod?

Miracle of Healing Wunder Heilung

The Roots of Violence Wie Gewalt entsteht

How should one speak about something for which there are no words? In general, those who have been narrowly “brought back to life” report leaving their physical body, being bathed in heavenly light, experiencing cosmic harmony and meeting the dead when they speak of their experiences. Quite apart from speculation about the veracity or the cultural determinacy of such reports, it is certain that near-death experiences are more than momentous for those concerned, and in many cases can lead to positive changes in the way they live their lives and deal with death. The film gives a voice to those who are able to report from their own acute experiences.

Kurt Langbein survived carcinosis by radiation therapy. The question is how long does the diagnosis “being healed for the present” last? The well-known science-journalist – conducted by his own motivation – started to get to the bottom of the special parameters mobilizing one’s immune system, being able to heal carcinosis finally. In fact there are people, so called moribunded cause of suffering carcinosis, but contrary to diagnostics being in the best of health. Some of them are known as “medical miracle”, others just try to find out some unorthodox “attraction to New Age healing”. What does academic medicine know about how healing works? What becomes more important – the therapy or the therapist?

Violence came about as a result of a settled way of life. Archaeological finds show that hunters and gatherers lived relatively peacefully, preferring to avoid one another rather than smash each other’s skulls if a conflict arose. It was only with the onset of farming and the first villages that serious violence developed among human beings. Exclusion engenders violence. This separation between “us” and “others” has been and still is misused by politicians. The history of nationalism shows this to a terrifying extent – most recently in Bosnia, when 8,400 people were murdered.

Freedom of Thought – Fair Punishment for the Criminally Insane Freiheit in Gedanken – Gerechte Strafe für geistig abnorme Rechtsbrecher

Myth Fairness: A Social Future from Rage and Courage Mythos Gerechtigkeit: Von Wut und Mut einer gesellschaftlichen Zukunft

The criminally insane are incarcerated as dangerous felons and offenders, who, due to an absence of criminal responsibility, cannot be judged. But did they really not know what they were doing? Are they rebels without a cause? Can there be fair punishment for the criminally insane? How does anyone live with the prospect of having no prospect of freedom?

There is no question that is as passionately debated, about which so many political feuds have been conducted, and over which so many bitter tears have been shed. This question, like no other, has caused the greatest minds in human history to ponder so deeply and yet deliver so few answers: the question of fairness.

Statements from inmates, such as “for me freedom means that I can write my letters, that now and again I can receive a package, but actually, that my thoughts remain free”, shape this unique film, which portrays everyday life in prison from the point of view of insane lawbreakers for the first time.

Why must entire nations pay for the unscrupulous speculations of a few financial jugglers with such rigorous austerity packages? How can the number of millionaires be on the increase in spite of the worldwide financial crises? What makes internet activism such as the Anonymous grouping illegal, whilst global players such as “Google” and “Facebook” blatantly trade our data? Can the murder of a tyrant ever be right, and do the lottery of birth and our living conditions have anything to do with fairness?

Singing Instead of Shooting Singen statt Schießen

Where Have All the Girls Gone Sag mir wo die Mädchen sind

We Are Democracy Wir sind Demokratie

What are a rabbi, an imam and a priest doing together? In Antakya, formerly known as Antioch, they are singing in a choir – under the leadership of a young Turkish conductor. The “Choir of the Civilisations” sees itself as a multicultural answer to the growing religious and ethnic tensions in the region. Today, Antakya, at one time the “cradle of Christianity”, lies on one of the most dangerous borders in the world, that with Syria. There, the conflict between Sunnis, Alaouites and Christians has escalated into civil war. In the nearby Antakya these groups are continuing to live side by side in peace. Yet here too the tensions are increasing and the war in Syria is threatening to spill over into the entire region.

In India there is massive discrimination against women and girls. From birth, girls are neglected, poorly fed, their needs are inadequately met and they are not allowed to go to school. For good measure, China and India have made a name for themselves through the practice of selectively aborting female foetuses. The population is growing, but the growth is not natural. In Asia, far more boys are being born than girls. Today the continent is missing 160 million women. In the past, cultural traditions were blamed for this development, but it would appear that the reasons are rather more economic in nature.

Capitalism and democracy – is this apparent forced marriage heading for divorce? Has the triumphal march of capitalism left democracy, and we citizens with it, to fall by the wayside? Taking examples in Spain, Germany, Iceland, Switzerland and Austria, this film examines concrete alternatives to gauge their effectiveness. From symbolic ideas, the implementation of new economic systems and the education of young people about democracy, to the participation of citizens in government, people throughout Europe are looking for something with which to counter a society in crisis. Documenting, scrutinising and reflecting on this essential exploratory movement for new contemporary forms of social and economic coexistence in light of the current situation constitutes the abiding undertone of this documentary film, its images and its narrative.

A fascinating documentary that looks at the current situation in Syria from a slightly different angle.

The film “God’s Army – God’s Enemy” is the first documentary that investigates the background of the bloody conflicts in Nigeria as the starting point of the Islamic terror. The “Mother of Boko Haram” – a very controversial lawyer and self-proclaimed human rights activist – delivers insight into the world of religious terror organizations and presents their point of view regarding the threatening religious war. However, the origin of the mysterious radical-Islamic group “Boko Haram”, often called the “Taliban of Africa”, lies in Mohammed Yusuf, an already dead leader of a sect, and in the place of origin, the North-Nigerian city Maiduguri. Maiduguri and the meeting with the Boko-Haram-warriors is the last stop on a long journey through a shattered country which is torn apart by the religion of its inhabitants.

Iran – Life Under Pressure Iran – Leben unter Druck

Did you know that Tehran’s most popular hospital is Jewish? The Sapihr clinic, located in a poor neighborhood in the south of Iran’s capital, offers treatment free of charge to those in need. 99 percent of the patients are Muslims, but doctors and nurses get their salary from the Jewish community. After the Iranian Revolution, seven out of ten Jews left Iran. The remaining 30,000 claim that they want to stay in a country that was populated by their ancestors, centuries before Arab warriors brought Islam. Since 1979 Jews enjoy an ambivalent status as a “protected minority”. This documentary gives an impressive insight of the Iranian minority’s life under the double pressure of Islamic society and international sanctions and impresses with stunning comments of the people there.

The Struggle for Housing – Unaffordable Living in Europe? Der neue Häuserkampf – Wird Wohnen in Europa bald unbezahlbar?

All over Europe, governments are going on the offensive: the middle classes, and also the unemployed and young people are being expected to pay the bill for the crisis in the public finances. The austerity policies in the majority of EU countries are leading to job losses and salary cuts, to hopelessness and an undermining of the principle of solidarity in society. German experts already fear a state of affairs like that experienced during the Weimar Republic. And all this comes against a background of rising profits for big business and the banks. But resistance is growing. New protest campaigns are gaining increasing numbers of supporters, under the rallying cry, “We won’t pay for your crisis!”

The migration into large European cities is unbroken. Living space in Europe’s metropolises is going to be scarcer and more expensive. “The Struggle for Housing” describes alternatives to escape this insanity:

For example, legally in Hamburg no apartment may remain empty for more than four months. Another new option offers the so-called Cohousing, a planned community that consists of private apartments or houses that are supplemented by extensive communal facilities. However, this housing policy has practically failed in many towns such as in Paris, where there are more homeless people than in Germany. This documentary portrays people who work full time, but still got homeless.

Rio de Janeiro – Peace to the Favelas Rio de Janeiro – Friede den Favelas

Fronteira Brazil – The Gender In-Between – The Struggle for Land in Mato Grosso Transvestites in Rio Fronteira Brazil – Das Geschlecht dazwischen Der Kampf um Land in Mato Grosso

Brazil has a super-dynamic economy and Rio de Janeiro is one of the most beautiful and pulsating cities on earth. Yet in the vast poor quarters of the city, drug-related crime and naked violence have long been rife. Suppressing this violence is currently the city’s greatest challenge. There are over a hundred slums that are ruled by armed drug gangs which have no infrastructure. For too long the state has ignored the needs of the poor. Together with special units of the military police, this documentary is about the visit to the Morro do Alemao favela, which until recently was known as the most dangerous part of Rio de Janeiro.

Globalisation has been long under way in Brazil: powerful concerns buy up entire rain forests and deforest them in order to plant fields of Soya. This documentary focuses on this vast and invasive reclamation process and its social and ecological ramifications. The starting point is the newly paved tarmac road, the BR163, which runs right through the rain forests of the Amazon. Once upon a time it was natural rubber and gold that drove people into the Amazon looking for wealth or a better life: Today it is the Soya boom. As a result, land prices along the BR163 constantly rise and it is often only through illegal land grabbing that people can secure a spot.

World in a Ball Der Ball ist rund

Street Children in Ecuador Kinder der Straße

This documentary shows the very contradictory consequences of globalisation in a single, remote setting: in the secret world capital of soccer in northeast Pakistan, Sialkot. According to a Pakistani legend, the ball is not only round, but also a “Golden Ball”, a “Gola Zareen”. In Sialkot, 50,000 workers sew about forty million handmade balls per year. That’s seventy percent of the hand-stitched soccer balls on the world market. It takes about three hours to finish a ball. The business, which began more than 100 years ago with the manufacture of balls, hockey sticks, and cricket bats for their British colonial masters, kept booming for decades and is economically important for all Pakistan. Now burgeoning competition is posing a threat: el cheapo balls from China are becoming better and better, and high-tech products from Thailand are becoming cheaper and cheaper.

Many Ecuadorian children, fleeing from the violence of broken families, end up on the streets where they eke out a living as shoe cleaners, cigarette sellers or pick pockets. To give them hope for a better future the Salesians of Don Bosco in Ecuador began a project many years ago called “Golasco – football for street children”. In specially designed football schools the children make new friends and develop a new outlook on life while playing football. The film shows the different phases of this sensitive re-socialization process, from the first contact between social workers and children living on the streets to their reintegration into the school system and their eventual reunification with their families.

Modern day heroes, people who stand out from the crowd through their special skills and extraordinary adventurism to risk the physical and mental transgression of limits. But what makes the heroes do this? Which career did those people experience, who are at the alleged head of a socially recognized elite popularity? Which events, thoughts and goals made people to adventurers? And are these heroes really as self-determined as it seems at first sight? This film, which is based on the stories of three extraordinary men, will give an unusual perspective on the conditions and the extremely increasing expressions of our modern society. The filmteam accompanies a wingsuit flyer, a freediver and an extreme cyclist in their ambitious plan to reach the top of the sports world. They fly along craggy cliffs, dive without oxygen equipment in the depths of sea and compete during inconceivably exhausting cycling tours – an evidence of the undreamed performance of the human body.

Herbs – Crafts Die Kraft der Kräuter

Never before have the oldest companions of human beings, herbs, been presented in film in this way. With a specially developed process, the growth, blossoming and withering of medicinal and poisonous plants can be experienced in fast motion. However, not in the old, familiar manner, with static shots, but with pans, zooms or as tracking shots over meadows! This is a presentation technique at the highest international level! The content of this fascinating documentary itself is also revolutionary: the simplest culinary herbs, such as chives, cress, basil, etc. contain highly effective substances of extreme importance for pharmacology.

Emperor Franz Joseph and World War I Kaiser Franz und der erste Weltkrieg

After the assassination of the heir to the throne, Franz Ferdinand, in Sarajevo on 28th June 1914, emperor Franz Joseph signed the declaration of war against Serbia. Misled by the military and political forces, the 84 year old monarch provoked an apocalypse. Initially, the offensive was intended to be limited by territory and time. However, it ended in one of the vastest mass mortality in human history. The film shows the first three years of war, from 1914 until the death of Emperor Franz Joseph, husband of the popular Empress Sissy, in November 1916, analysing the background, motives and mechanisms of a war that was fought not only for political and military dominance but also for the “salvation of the occident”. A battle between East and West, between Germanic and Slavs.

The Power of Women – Mistresses in the Congress of Vienna Der Wiener Kongress und die Macht der Frauen

Lost Lives – Women in Gulag Verlorene Leben – Frauen im Gulag

Autumn 1814: Vienna stood at the center of the world at that time, as, after 25 years of revolutionary upheaval and the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the Congress of Vienna, the largest gathering of the leading statesmen of their time to date, was intended to bring a stable framework for peace to Europe. However, the monarchs and diplomats did not take the important decisions in the conference rooms, but rather in the ballrooms and parlours. Social occasions and riotous parties were the breeding ground for affairs and manipulation, intrigues and pacts, at which the mistresses and lovers of the statesmen pulled the strings.

In the 1920s many European women emigrated to the Soviet Union in search of a new and better life. Their goal was to build up a new society where unemployment, the economic chaos and the civil war belong to the past. This documentary is looking for almost forgotten destinies of women who ended under extreme life circumstances from Kazakhstan until Siberia in the Soviet Gulag. It also tells the life stories of Aino Kuusinen (wife of the leader of the Finnish communist party), the Spanish Carolina Codina (first wife of Sergei Sergejewitsch Prokofjew) and other life destinies from Great Britain, France and other countries.

This docudrama tells the story of the Congress of Vienna from the viewpoint of three mistresses. Their roles produce a picture that is as enigmatic as it is entertaining of this historically important major event, the 200th anniversary which will be marked in 2014/15.

Hardly anything in the world works without a PC any more. Practically, everything is controlled by computer – with networks, communication, sending and receiving all digital. Our world is an analogue world that is increasingly being dominated by binary processes and programs. This digital omnipresence has co-opted us and is continuing to grow in strength; it won’t be long, for example, until household technology can only be controlled digitally, and even remotely, or until 2018 when the first self-driving vehicles hit the roads in California. How much “digital” does humankind need? And how much “human” does digital need? This documentary illuminates digital environments and descriptively tells its story using four different generations – ranging from the generation that was not born into the telepathic society through to Generation Vipe.

They dominate medical research, conceal negative trial results and sell us outrageously expensive medicines, about the ineffectiveness and risks of which they have long been aware. And in the process the managers in the pharmaceutical industry generate the highest profits of any sector. Now women are filing complaints. They took the contraceptive pill, Yasmin, because it was pitched to them as an innovative product that would also help to alleviate skin conditions. Now these young women are stroke patients. “Bought” guidelines. Critical doctors point out that there are dozens of conflicts of interest on the committees of experts that draw up the treatment guidelines. And in-siders divulge how the industry manipulates articles ostensibly written by professors by using ghost writers.

Irish Cameraman Colin Stafford-Johnson spent almost 600 days filming Broken Tail & his family for some of the finest tiger documentaries ever made. Broken Tail was the most charismatic tiger cub he’d ever seen in Ranthambhore, one of India’s premier wild tiger reserves. Impossibly cute, he gamboled and posed for Colin’s camera through the first years of his life. But then, without warning, Broken Tail disappeared. He abandoned his sanctuary and went on the run, disappearing into the wilds of rural India for almost a year. On a spectacular odyssey across Rajasthan, Colin travels by horseback retracing Broken Tail’s last journey, gathering clues as to his route and behavior, exploring why he abandoned his home, and above all: revealing important truths about India’s last wild tigers.

Islands of Eternal Spring – The Canaries Kanaren – Inseln des ewigen Frühlings

The Canary Islands are one of the most well-known tourist destinations in the world. The “Islands of eternal spring” offer a stable and pleasant climate throughout almost the entire year. However, although the seven islands are “known”, their flora and fauna secrets have yet to be presented in a “serious cinematic” fashion. Located off of the north-west coast of Africa, these islands are a unique archipelago. Principally, all climate zones from desert to primeval rain forests are found here, existent for the last 60 million years and unique in the world. According to current estimates there are around 2,000 different species of plants on the islands, of which more than 500 exist only on the Canaries.

Scorpions – Death on 8 Legs Skorpione – Tod auf 8 Beinen

The Danube, one of the most remarkable rivers in Europe, contains many secrets. Not just underwater, but also along its course through Austria. This documentary follows in the tracks of the widest variety of creatures in the Mediterranean section of the Danube. Among others, the largest lizard, the largest snake in Central Europe, the western green lizard and the Aesculapian snake will be encountered; the audience is invited to take part in the family life of ground squirrels, learn that the heat islands even have their own local species of scorpion, and encounter the praying mantis, the saga pedo or the wasp spider. However, not only the animal kingdom is fascinating. Many field orchids, which are threatened with extinction almost everywhere else, find a final refuge on the slopes of the Wachau Valley. The most colourful European bird, the bee-eater, still broods here in the last remaining colonies.The entire region was named a World Natural and Cultural Heritage Site in 2000.

Wherever they turn up, one thing is always the same: they are photophobic creatures and they are poisonous. Some of them are among the most poisonous animals on Earth. They have been on the planet for 400 million years and have since conquered all continents, settling in the most varied habitats, including arid areas as well as hot and humid rainforests: scorpions! Around 1,500 different species are known worldwide. A little prick of their needle-sharp sting is enough to kill insects, mammals and even humans. A visually stunning documentary that shows how perfectly the oldest land animals in the world have adapted over the course of 400 million years, full of drama and sensational extreme close-ups.

They are chubbier, fuzzier and more leisurely than their sisters, the bees. They are a lot less aggressive and awe-inspiring than their cousins the wasps. Compared to honey bees, these social insects have long been poorly researched, though they’re at home in temperate regions throughout the Northern Hemisphere and South America. A few tropical species form colonies lasting several years, but elsewhere only the summer’s new Queens survive into next spring. Macro and high-speed cinematography allow us to witness their behavior, understand their biology, experience their unique abilities and leave us in awe of these droll little harbingers of spring.

Planet Sparrow Planet der Spatzen

Ben is a sparrow in the Soukh in Cairo. Bushy and tousled, he flits between crowded stalls to build his nest and attract a mate. He’s one of five heroes of “Planet Sparrow”. Their adventures cover the world, travelling westward with the sun from Cairo to Vienna, Paris, New York, Beijing and Moscow. Small and grey-brown, sparrows may seem dull, but this first impression is deceptive. They sing as prettily as canaries and can imitate other birds – even machines! They’re extremely clever, dunking dry bread and rice in water to eat, and learning to open milk cans by watching other birds. Their insect-hunting skills are breathtaking. The camera pursues these artists of flight through narrow alleys, revealing their spectacular aerial manoeuvres. In Paris, centuries of living with humans have taught them to form teams that steal and share the food of restaurant diners. In New York, orphaned sparrow chicks are adopted by new sparrow parents. The birds play Russian Roulette in Moscow, flying beneath the cars on the busiest roads to save winter energy. “Planet Sparrow” is a documentary about these flying survival artists, their neighbors and adversaries, all photographed from the perspective of the birds, as well.

Owl’s Odyssey Der Flug der Eule

When a female barn-owl’s home – an old disused barn – is demolished, she has to seek a new place to live. On the way, flying through forests and across grasslands, she encounters most of the common owl species in Central Europe: long – and short-eared owls, little, tawny and eagle owls, some she can live peacefully beside, others she must shun or risk becoming their prey. During her journey, the film shows how owls fly so silently and hunt so efficiently; it illustrates what they have meant to humans since ancient times, and how they live beside us today. It explains why they have become – unfairly – associated with death. Our owl finally finds a new home, as the guest of a barn owl family, in time to see the new clutch of young following their mother on their first majestic flight.

This documentary shows how the small bird with the spectacular crown feathers made a comeback in the heart of Europe and how it is dealing with its neighbours: Aesculapian snakes, foxes and falcons. But it is also the story about one man’s dream that came true: Manfred Eckenfellner is known as the “Hoopoe-Whisperer” and due to his passion the birds found their way back to the Wagram region. Even cultural landscapes like the Wagram Wineyards offer countless opportunities for wild animals to find new niches. Kestrels use castle towers to breed and bee-eaters live in the same layers of loess vintners grow their grapes on.

Hunting Buddies – How Dogs Discovered Man Jagdkumpane – Wie der Hund auf den Menschen kam

No animal reflects human social changes as much as the dog. For millennia, dogs have served as mankind’s hunting buddies, vital companions in our struggle for survival. In today’s increasingly civilized world, modern dogs have had to abandon their first instincts, finding new employment as family members, helping the disabled, diagnosing cancer, or sniffing for drugs. We have forgotten what it actually means to be a dog, a hunter. “Hunting Buddies” looks back at this part of our cultural history and discovers where dog skills come from, finding out what we have given up and gained as our relationship with dogs has changed. Different hunting dogs are followed in real-life situations seen from dog and human perspective. Each breed emerged from a specific period in hunting history, when each was supremely adapted to the tasks and skills required. “Hunting Buddies” takes a closer look at dog and man, nature and culture – a cinematic cross-over appealing not just to hunters and dog-lovers but to anyone fascinated by the history and development of humankind.

Keepers of the Ark – A Life for Animals Leben im Zoo

The muscular young cheetah marks carefully his new terrain which is full of another animal’s strange smell. A couple of young falcons is excited and nervous: its first attempt at flight – and a balcony amidst the town is an unusual take off point. Also Nina is excited: she is the young keeper of the bats – and this is exactly the moment to set the young animals free to find a living in the woods around Schönbrunn castle. What these animals share is their proximity to humans in a zoo – the world’s oldest, Vienna’s Schönbrunn zoo: A centre for animal care, conservation and international breeding programs. This is the story about Schönbrunn’s zookeepers who devote their lives to the animals by witnessing birth, aging process, death and, occasionally, the end of an entire species. The unusual locations and spectacular camera perspectives in this film convey the intimacy of the relationship between keepers and animals. An intimacy which may lead to physical and behavioural similarities even between animals and humans.

The Empress and the Forest Der wilde Wald der Kaiserin

A palace in a private woodland park near the city of Vienna; 25 square miles of lonely beauty designed for a tragic empress. The Lainzer Park was a gift from the Emperor to his wife Elisabeth, Empress of Austria, more than a century ago. It was to be her sanctuary from the suffocating protocol of court. Today, visitors are restricted to the official paths of a walled wonderland that is both completely wild and fully protected, a landscape untouched by the age of industry. In the midst of the forest is a garden whose four-hundred-year old oaks have trunks with diameters greater than four metres. The crowns of the trees are host to more than 1,000 insect species, including a hundred different kinds of butterfly. In the spirit of Thomas Rilk’s last film “Wasteland Warriors”, set in Vienna’s building sites and scrublands, this hidden ecosystem reveals a macro world of astonishing variety, beauty and colour in the trees and on the ground, and follows the free-roaming deer and wild hogs that live so close to the busy centre of Austria’s capital city.

This comprehensive cinematic portrait of Europe’s secondlongest river presents scenes of breathtaking beauty along the banks of the Danube, and investigates the tension between humans and nature, civilisation and wilderness. Dams and power stations alternate with sections of natural wilderness along this mighty river, which flows through metropolises such as Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest and untouched natural landscapes like the Danube National Park and the Kopaki Rit. Further south, between the Carpathian mountain range in Romania and the Serbian Ore mountains, the river passes through the socalled Iron Gate, 137 kilometres of Gorges that are among the largest in Europe. The mighty river ends in a unique labyrinth of water, mud and reeds – the Danube delta. It is the last remaining major river delta in Europe and the largest reed bed on earth, used by huge colonies of pelicans, cormorants, sea eagles and spoonbills for breeding and nesting.

A Valley Lost in Time – Ausseerland Mythos Ausseerland

This is the story of a landscape born on ice and rock; the story of a valley smashed and broken, crushed and teased, lowered – and raised again – by nature’s elements; the story of a region, beautiful and picturesque, hailed as one of creation’s summits. This haunt and habitat belongs to both man and animal. Our senses are occupied by stunning summits, sheer black walls and dark blue lakes, but the sources of life are hidden deep inside the mighty rocks: salt and water. A source of life for both man and animal – but also a source of exploitation, anarchy, isolation – and zest for life. Now we enter a dense world of extremes and contrasts: the extremes come from the climatic conditions, cold winters with masses of snow and mild, humid summers; while the contrasts are based on man-made realities, powerful and colorful traditions coupled with intellectual and economic modernity. Like a storybook, Ausseerland is a highly compressed universe where beautiful red deer observe the humans while people prefer to measure each other up. Meadows are prized for flowers that anywhere else would be thought of as rubbish, in a landscape that attracts millions of outsiders.

Nock – Land Above the Clouds Nockberge – Land zwischen Himmel und Erde

You might think you were in Ireland, you might sense the vastness of Castile in Spain, but you’d never believe this was the heart of the Austrian Alps: the Nock Mountains are – geologically – Austria’s oldest landscape. For a hundred million years, the land around them has risen and fallen, while the mountains themselves hardly moved. And for the past thousand years, the same has been true of the harmonious co-existence of wild nature and rural culture. Traditional farming and, more recently, a national park, have kept out the mass tourism that blighted other Alpine regions. Now, both the wide open spaces and the wealth of small natural wonders that characterize these gentle, green mountains have been successfully preserved: wild rivers, endless woodland, lush mountain meadows, wild flowers and wild animals, from red deer and golden eagles to the tiny lives that populate the secret world of mountain lakes. This is perfect territory for creatures shrouded in mystery: the swift, nearly invisible stone marten, the dark and mystic raven and the inquisitive and aggressive European adder. When mountain farmers lead their herds to the high pastures every summer, cows and sheep graze side by side with deer and marmots. It’s a magic world, set in harmonious shades of green, yet always with that touch of mystery, a sense of the infinite. But, most of all, this is a quiet world, hidden high above the clouds almost all of the year. TV | VOD | DVD | TE

Triumph of the Tomato Triumph der Tomate

The original Peruvian tomat’l – “swollen fruit” – was yellow and the Conquistadores prized it for its blossom. But in Europe under the Spanish sun its lycopene went wild; rounded and red, it became irresistible. In Austria they still call it the “paradise fruit”, and in Italy the “golden apple”. This was surely the real forbidden fruit in the world’s first seduction! Today’s obsession with shape, size and long shelf-life has reduced the once glorious tomato to mushy tastelessness. But the counter-revolution has started! From tomato seedster Erich Stekovics with his 3,200 varieties stored in nylon stockings, to tomato tsarina Irina Zacharias, saved by the red fruit after the fall of Communism. From the pizza that boosted Queen Margarita’s sex life to Chinese Tomato King Li Jingfu’s 32 new strains, cross-bred to feed his fellow countrymen – and Joe Cocker, who serenades the crimson fruit and knows “it’s Blues they like best”. This film squeezes inside the tomato – literally – to show how it manages to make itself irresistible. You’ll understand why people go crazy at tomato festivals in Spain and Italy – and you may realize you have never, ever tasted a real tomato – yet!

Black Mamba – Kiss of Death Schwarze Mamba – Der Kuss des Todes

It’s spring and the start of the “Silly Season” on the North Coast of Kwazulu Natal – when deadly Black Mambas emerge from their winter slumber and strike fear into the hearts of all who cross their path. This warm, leafy coastal habitat is a perfect Mamba country, and a huge concentration of these silent killers make their home in an area known as “Mamba Valley”. Mambas like warm, dark spaces – and there are many of those in human homes. Considering a Mamba’s bite has a 100 percent fatality rate, left untreated, it’s not surprising humans fear and vilify these snakes – and there’s a shoot-to-kill bounty on their heads. From predation to male confrontations, from mating to incubation: surveillance from the lockup records some of the most intriguing and intimate moments of the secret life of the Mamba. Along the way, cinematic dramatizations of actual confrontations between people and Mambas highlight the unpredictable and often fatal consequences of dabbling with Africa’s most venomous snake.

Gonsalvus, the True Story of Beauty and the Beast Die Schöne und das Biest – Die wahre Geschichte

From his birth in 1556 on Tenerife, Petrus Gonsalvus suffered from a rare condition now called “hypertrichosis” or “Ambras syndrome”: his body, including his face, was completely covered with hair, leading people to believe he was a talking ape. At the age of ten he was given as a gift to King Henry II of France, where he soon entertained the court with his brilliant conversation and fluent French, Italian and Latin. Court scholars decided to test if he really was human and the pretty daughter of a court servant was bribed into marrying Gonsalvus. Petrus and Catherine had several children, sadly those which inherited their father’s rare condition were given away to other noble courts in Europe. “Beauty, the Beast and the Truth” – the archetypal tale of how ignorance and cruelty can only be overcome by love.
