Boris Bukowski’s eventful career as a musician began in the 1970s in the Styrian town of Fürstenfeld. From there as base, he had an important role in shaping Austropop as a band member of Music Machine or MAGIC and later solo, with songs such as “Euer Fritze mit der Spritze.” A film about the musical heritage of a sympathetic drifter and his search for (musical) perfection and self-fulfillment.
In Reference
The festival program, In Reference, draws red lines straight through the program: In it, Austrian cinema enters into a cinematic dialogue with itself and with selected international positions—reacting, interacting, commenting. The program selectively undertakes the attempt to take up related themes of the festival program, to connect them with one another, open up doors to new conceptual spaces, and initiate dialogue.
