Many years ago, there were a few times when we had a preliminary meeting at werkzeugH, where we discussed the current catalog together on stage with a few people who were regular Viennale visitors.
Including watching trailers and discussing film theory.
Since we did this with the microphone on stage, the other guests were always insanely disturbed after a while because they didn’t want to know which Finnish director had shot a documentary in Kazakhstan whose new film would be worth seeing again.
This year, however, I would like to revive the Viennale program Basteling with the new headphone format.
