Die Frau in Rot
Wir erinnern uns: Sujet 2 meiner Falter-Kampagne
"Wir holen Dich da raus" war die dröge grinsende
Frau im roten Schuftekleid (links). Auf ihren Wischmop
gestützt feixt sie in ihrer klinisch blanken Einbauküche.
Emanzipatorisch ein Jammer, das Mädchen.
Falter-Mastermind Siegmar Schlager hat
Bewegung in die Sache gebracht und das Bild
fürs Kino animieren lassen. Die Hintergründe
des Spots hat das Bureau Dusilova gezeichnet,
die Animation der real im Studio gedrehten Szene
hat Niki Cortolezis durchgeführt. Die Stimme am
Ende des Spots ist die von Hermes Phettberg.
Wenn man so will, war das die erste cinematografische
Zusammenarbeit zwischen Hermes und mir.
Die zweite kann man --> hier sehen.
Hier geht's zum Spot --> Die Frau in Rot (~3,5MB)
Er läuft ab Juli 2006 in Wiener und Grazer Kinos.
In Cinemascope: Die Frau in Rot.

Women drive alternative cinema
Radical femme helmers are at the cutting edge of Austria's avant garde
Posted in Variety: Mon., May 16, 2005, 8:00pm PT
Austria is the birthplace of psychoanalysis and Sigmund Freud's influence can still be seen in the new wave of Austrian cinema.
"Vienna is the world capital of denial and Austrian filmmakers are putting our society through therapy, undigging what is otherwise suppressed," says producer Alexander Dumreicher-Ivanceanu. He works at Vienna-based shingle* Amour Fou, which produces a mix of European arthouse and experimental fare.
The films currently being unearthed from the Austrian subconscious are striking a chord locally and on the international fest circuit. Amour Fou's latest production, "Taxidermia," received development funding from Sundance, and its German-Austrian co-production "Crash Test Dummies" screened in the Forum sidebar at Berlin this year.
In 2003, Amour Fou had three pics at the Cannes Film Festival: Bady Minck's "Am Anfang war der Blick," French co-production "Pas de Repos pour les Braves" and Ruth Mader's "Struggle."
The ultralow-budget "Struggle" exemplifies what new Austrian cinema is all about: "It's young, it's female and it's providing a social critique without being moralistic," says Roland Teichmann, director of the Austrian Film Institute.
Mader is one of a group of young femme helmers** including Jessica Hausner ("Lovely Rita"), Barbara Albert ("Free Radicals"), Andrea Maria Dusl ("Blue Moon"), Barbara Gräftner ("My Russia"), Ulrike Schweiger ("Twinni") and Anja Salomonovitz ("Das wirst du nie verstehen") dominating the local scene.
Many of these helmers met at film school in Vienna, where friendships were forged and ideas exchanged. Working against a background where it was normal for a woman to sit in the director's chair, they became "much more relaxed and confident about presenting a uniquely female perspective," says Hausner.
Her most recent pic, "Hotel," which screened in Un Certain Regard at Cannes last year, is the story of a hotel receptionist who discovers that her predecessor disappeared mysteriously and is convinced of her impending doom. "The film deals with the emptiness of a society characterized by materialism and the pressure to succeed," explains Hausner, whose "Lovely Rita" screened in Un Certain Regard in 2001.
Not exactly cheerful stuff, but then Hausner, like other Austrian directors of her generation, grew up under the guiding light of doom maestros Michael Haneke ("The Piano Teacher," "Funny Games") and Ulrich Seidl ("Hundstage").
"Haneke is very much the shining beacon of Austrian cinema. What I have always found so inspiring about him, but also Ulrich Seidl, is their consistency and refusal to compromise. That's what I'm also striving for in my films," says Hausner.
This fighting spirit typifies contemporary Austrian cinema. It's triggered not only by the fact that Haneke's and Seidel's stance on integrity has proved so successful, but also the country's political climate.
Explains Hausner, "Austrian society is possibly more hierarchical and conservative than other countries. The culture here is hermetically sealed, which creates a pressure. This makes creative processes much more intense and potentially explosive."
It's not just women who are keen to get their perspective onscreen. Coop99, a production outfit that Hausner founded with Barbara Albert, Martin Gschlacht and Antonin Svoboda, is in post with Svoboda's first pic, "Play Life," about a compulsive gambler.
Amour Fou's "Crash Test Dummies" was the debut of Joerg Kalt, and it is prepping Christian Frosch's conspiracy thriller "Neustadt."
Robert Pejo's "Dallas," about poverty-stricken Gypsy life in Romania, screened in the Panorama section at Berlin this year.
"Dallas" was produced by Allegro Film, another incubator of Austrian talent. Says the shingle's Helmut Grasser: "Austrian cinema is becoming increasingly diverse and it's more and more difficult to speak of a specifically Austrian perspective. But what I would say is that we're really trying to encourage young directors to develop a strong and unique style."

Crazy Day ::: Thomas Seifert
2003 plante ich, einen Spielfilm über den Tag des Einmarsches der Amerikaner in Baghdad
zu drehen. "Crazy Day" sollte er heissen, Arbeitstitel "Back to Baghdad". Teil meiner
Recherche waren Interviews mit Menschen, die an diesem Tag in der Stadt waren. Thomas
Seifert, ein Freund und Kollege aus frühen Falter-Tagen ist so jemand. Er hatte für das
Österreichische Boulevard-Magazin "News" die Bombardements der Amerikaner und auch
ihren "very very crazy" Einmarsch in die Stadt erlebt.
Der Film ist noch in der Pipeline. An Recherchen oder Dreharbeiten an den Original
Locations ist momentan nicht zu denken.
