Das andere Ende der Strasse I Von Drachen und Hasen
Short film programme for Father's Day
THE OTHER END OF THE STREET:
When 9-year-old Ábel is attacked by his classmate Bence at school, his father decides to visit Bence's parents to put an end to the constant harassment. However, the conversation does not go as hoped and presents father and son with a moral dilemma.
OF DRAGONS AND HARES:
What can you do when your relationship with your father, a passionate inventor, becomes alienating? ‘As a filmmaker, I decide to make a documentary about him and hope to arouse his interest in my work,’ says Lisa Hasenhütl. For three years, she accompanied her father as he enthusiastically realised the dragon boat race he had devised on the River Mur, creating a portrait that is both clever and witty. And in the end finds an animal that brings a surprise with it. (Diagonale catalogue)
