5.8. Kino wie noch nie: In the presence of Christoph Schwarz

Film-maker Christoph Schwarz is broke. A lucrative offer from Austrian television comes at just the right time: to try out a ‘climate strike’ on himself for a year.
Schwarz arranges for the experiment to be stepped up to a one-year ‘money strike’. As an introduction to climate activism that is critical of capitalism and as a unique opportunity to secretly buy that long-awaited weekend house in the Waldviertel using the film budget.

SPARSCHWEIN is a self-ironic mockumentary about double standards in times of climate crisis, about the privileges of car traffic in the city and the possibilities of fighting against it - humorously told with Christoph Schwarz's typical playful handling of truth and lies.
