Wahlkampf
In his long-term documentary *WAHLKAMPF*, Harald Friedl offers an up-close account of a young, ambitious team working alongside the SPÖ’s lead candidate, Andreas Babler, during the last National Council elections. Far from being a portrait of a lone fighter, the subtly observed chronology of events makes it clear just how much the Social Democratic politician’s candidacy is set against a backdrop of media backlash, party political rifts and a global shift to the right.
In the style of direct cinema, the film looks behind the scenes of this political contest and shows how a dedicated campaign team attempts to master the stress of a conflict-ridden daily routine through admirable attention to detail and collaboration. With an awareness of the party’s rich history (under the gaze of portraits of Viktor Adler and Bruno Kreisky at SPÖ headquarters), strategies for the present are devised and attempts are made to incorporate grassroots democratic energies and grassroots activities into the strictly regimented daily routine of the party apparatus.
