Liebesgrüße aus der Lederhose

Franz Marischka

Peter Steiner, Julia Tomas

A comedy directed by Franz Marischka.

Hands Up Mr. Rasnichi

Hal Clay, Flo Nordhoff

A cautionary tale about the myriad shades and shapes of totalitarianism in an irreverent, surreal 1960s mix of styles featuring acerbic Austrian cabaret icon Helmut Qualtinger speaking in tongues. An exemplary, at the time widely lauded work of West German animation.

Die Purpurlinie

Flo Nordhoff

Animated film featuring three animal-like creatures.

Vincent van Go-Go

Hal Clay, Flo Nordhoff

An impressionist-anchored, pop art-driven, surrealist animation about war fears, industrial overdevelopment, and many other civilisational neuroses. A colourful counterpart to Clay & Nordhoff’s probably earlier Hands Up Mr. Rasnichi, which was seemingly little shown and is not even mentioned in any of their currently consultable filmographies. A true discovery.
