aquanitis

After having suffered a stroke, Vinzenz, a hard-working hotel owner, regains consciousness as a new man,
suddenly feeling himself strangely attracted to water. This new way of seeing things makes it impossible for him to go back to his former life.
When he, under singular circumstances, meets and falls in love with an aquana, a beautiful water spirit, Vinzenz finally finds true happiness.
At least that is what he believes...

H€IMAT
(2003) 

 


South Tyrol, benificiary of financial aid until the late eighties, has long outdistanced its formerly rich neighbours.
The economy is flourishing, unemployment is low, the prosperity ubiquitous. In only a few years the northernmost region of Italy
has become one of the richest in Europe.What sounds like a fairy tale in reality comes at a price.
South Tyrol has become a land of speculation, where the highest offer gets the bid.
Nature is marketed recklessly, the Alps are overrun by tourism.
Tradition and ancient customs degenerate into mere entertainment, turning the land into an alpine Disneyland.
H€IMAT is a film which has its starting point in South Tyrol, but South Tyrol is only exemplary for many regions.
What is happening here is happening in similar ways all over Europe.
The region is ruled by power and money, and politicians often find themselves unable to counter this trend.

CIANCI GATTI
(2001) 
 
 
Cianci Gatti, aka “The Artist on the Mouth Organ”, was born in Innsbruck in 1920.
He was already a gifted cabaret artist and musician during his school days, until World War II interrupted his career.
Under the accusation of having collaborated with the partisans, he was brought to the concentration camp in Reschen Street in Bozen in 1943.
After the War he resumed his artistic activities, on radio as well as on stage.
Then his unique talent on the mouth organ was discovered, winning him international fame in the 1950ies and 60ies.
At the end of the 1970ies he left the stage to study Italian Literature, working later as a teacher until his retirement.
The film Cianci Gatti  gives insight into this man's complex and interesting life.
For this film Cianci returned to the stage after an absence of over 20 years.
