CINEMA NEXT EUROPE CLUB – Selected Shorts (Screening & Dialogue)
For four years now, the emerging talent initiative Cinema Next – Junger Film aus Österreich has been inviting young Austrian filmmakers to the Cinema Next Europe Club so they can draw input from the festival programs, network and present to each other the feature film projects that they have currently in the works. A small festival campus, so to speak. This year, the Club will open up and host three European guests who are also preparing their feature film debuts. Recent and award-winning fiction and documentary shorts from these international participants will be shown in a public screening and discussed in a dialog with their Club colleagues and an interested audience.

Trouble Features (Screening & Dialogue)
One evening, two movies, one discussion committed to cinematic dissent: That’s the TROUBLE FEATURES by curating society Diskollektiv. They celebrated their festival premiere at Crossing Europe in Linz in 2018 and gleefully enter into their fourth round this year – juxtaposing the Marxist computer game essay HARDLY WORKING with a surprise film that takes the proverb “Time is money” literally.

fe/male positions – The Salon
A Life Like Any OtherModeration: Beate Hausbichler
The film UNE VIE COMME UNE AUTRE by Faustine Cros, shown as part of CROSSING EUROPE, examines motherhood between social expectations and personal consequences. It raises questions concerning the life plans of women that are shaped profoundly by children and partnership, and why a self-determined concept of their own self is so hard to achieve for mothers. “fe/male positions – The Salon” on May 1, 2023, at 4 p.m. will discuss the complex relationship between personal life decisions, fulfillment outside of family-related contexts, and patriarchal social structures.
