Diagonale Day 1

The Opening of the annual austrian filmfestival DIAGONALE took place at the Helmut List Halle in Graz.
Sadly i couldn't be there (actually i was to tired). Anyhow.
We started our day with a Film on Ute Bock called "die verrückte Welt der Ute Bock". Mixing fiction with documentary this film shows a view days in the Life of Ute Bock.
If you would look at the movie acting and script wise - you would have to find it not watchable. But in this movie there are different issues that are being discussed. We won't tell you more ;) watch the movie.

We would have loved to stay for the speech and discussions with Ute but we had to run to the next film called ARAB ATTRACTION by Andreas Horvath and Monika Muskala.
To portrait the Islamic culture is very difficult although i liked how Mr. Horvath put the qestions. But this film does not need critics. Its criticizes its self.

discussion with main character and director - Headshots 


Another Film that should be mentioned is HEADSHOTS. At first i thought it will turn into a cliche of the photographer/fashion szene. But it didn't. watch it ;)

Worst movie of yesterday was TODESPOLKA after this movie there is no doubt for me, all Austrian actors are horrible!(except 2 or so)
It was not funny at all. had a good start got really bad in the middle and at the end... well... i left ;)

New Zealand photographer  Yvonne Todd   uses the generic language of commercial studio photography and quotes mainstream pop-culture, but she produces off-kilter images that express a personal mythology. She is best known for her images of female ‘characters’. These portraits are highly styled; using wigs, costumes, makeup and even false teeth. Todd women seem to suffer from some soap-operatic malaise, explicit or implicit, be they cosmeticians, cripples, modest Christians, anorexics, cult members, showgirls or tragic heiresses. Her work has a complex relation with feminism. "My favourite author when I was twelve or thirteen, Virgina Andrews, wrote gothic tale...
