New World

(Neue Welt), Paul Rosdy / RAK , 2005
original version / English subtitles, 103 min

A nostalgic road movie that wanders from country to country, town to town, from old times to new, through the greater part of central Europe, territory that for nearly four hundred years boasted the name Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.

Using music, stories, anecdotes and legends, travel guides and newspaper clippings from the turn of the 20th century, documentarist Rosdy has created a fascinating journey through time built upon the juxtaposition of archive footage and fotographs with contemporary shots of the same places.

The partner of the screening is Austrian culture forum. The screening with the presence of director of the film Paul Rosdy!
