Franz Leopold Schmelzer
Robert Hauer-Riedl, Ulrike Benko
For centuries the Germans and Slovenes lived in peace with one another in southern Styria. Then, when the border was defined, the killing began. A picture of southern Styria far removed from the usual associations of wine-drinking, merry-making and seclusion and the literary fantasies about it...

38 – Auch das war Wien
Wolfgang Glück
Tobias Engel, Sunnyi Melles
The film presents the political events surrounding the Anschluss in March of 1938 through the lives of Carola Hell, a popular young actress at the prestigious Theater in der Josefstadt, and Martin Hofmann, the Jewish journalist she plans to marry. When we encounter the couple in the lovely springtime weather their future is full of promise. They are determined to stay clear of politics. Yet in the climate of the time, nobody of her prominence or his religion can remain apolitical. Although Martin's journalist friend, Drechsler, calls to inform them that the Nazis plan to take over Austria soon, they concentrate on their work and their private happiness and dismiss the warnings.
