VIENNALE EARLY BIRD OF THE DAY

VIENNALE EARLY BIRD OF THE DAY

READY, STEADY, GO!

The young man seemed to be satisfied but a little exhausted after the last hours. It was on Saturday shortly before 10 am in the morning - that is the long-awaited Viennale sales commencement - when he held the pole position in the queue.
No wonder! He had secured this place already long before sunrise, after only three hours of sleep he had arrived here at Schottentor at a time when the tired eyes of revelers meet the long faces of the shortly woken-up and the trams gradually start rattling down  into the Jonas-Reindl. Since five o clock he waited here, controlled and optimized again his movie list, first alone, later in the company of two ladies, who supplied him with coffee and encouraging words. And then finally it was time: At 10 sharp our VIENNALE EARLY BIRD OF THE DAY could place his ticket requests and leave with 42 Viennale tickets into a well-deserved weekend ...
We congratulate and honor this special effort with a Viennale Fanpackage!

We also don't want you to miss his movie list: There are classics such as GESCHICHTSUNTERRICHT by Straub/Huillet, who pursued political issues like ZIMA, UHODI! (about state power in Russia and the protest against - as in ZAVTRA, which is also screened at the Viennale) or feature film debuts like BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD or LEONES.
