Affection: Part 1, USA 2025, 3:43 min, original version in English, Dir: Rudolf Stueger
The first part of this film anthology invites viewers to reflect on the political dimension of affection and on coming together in public space.

UNO CITY, AT 2025, 12:06 min, no dialogue, Dir: Wolfgang Lehrner
Officially extraterritorial, while unmistakably part of the urban fabric of Vienna, the UNO City exists in a constant negotiation between inside and outside, sovereignty and cooperation, openness and restriction.

Noch lange keine Lipizzaner, AT 2025, 92:00 min, original version in German, Dir: Olga Kosanović
