Hauntingly Captivating. A Tribute to Jessica Hausner

Not only one of Austria's, but also one of Europe's most original voices in film – a filmmaker who resists categorisation and rejects conventional explanations. This special programme, presented by the author herself, is dedicated to her sterile, beautiful, captivating and unsettling world, which exclusively depicts the inner conflicts, isolation and self-assertion of women.
