There are 3 films about Sebastian Kurz in cinemas in Austria. The spiders! France does not want to accept migrants from Lampedusa

Not one, not two, no, three documentaries about the former Austrian ÖVP politician and Chancellor Sebastian Kurz (37) can be seen in Austrian cinemas from September 21. All three tell the truth, the truth again and certainly nothing but the truth about Sebastian Kurz. It just always looks a little different. This gives the short film a whole new meaning in Austria.

“Short – The Film” has been running since last week. Director Sascha Köllnreiter (39), who describes himself as a leftist, wanted to film an objective, critical approach to Kurz. He failed terribly. Kurz and his best friends celebrated the premiere, the entire ÖVP leadership was present, the news magazine “Profil” reported that the film was definitely not “pure propaganda work”.

Kurz clearly answered the question whether “the former conservative wunderkind” (“NZZ Magazin”), who now works as a global strategist for the libertarian investor Peter Thiel, wanted to make the premiere the starting point of a political comeback with “no”. . Köllnreiter is frustrated. He wanted everything completely different.

And then a ticket fraud occurred during the opening weekend (which is common in the industry): the supposedly formidable admission numbers announced by the distributor were not true, a cinema chain reported to the media: more than 90 tickets were sold at a time. performance (and that was the case), still at affordable group prices), but there were three to five people in the halls. The production company for “Kurz – Der Film” bought the tickets.

Not much is known yet about the two new short films. Kurt Langbeins (69) “Ballhausplatz Project – The Rise and Fall of Sebastian Kurz” It will be a decidedly left-wing and, as the trailer shows, quite sensational confrontation.

“Sebastian Kurz – The Truth” Finally, Jakov Sedlar (71), who was announced on Tuesday as a surprise to everyone, threatens to become a right-wing hero worship orgy. The script was written by Austrian journalist Judith Grohman, who wrote ‘Sebastian Kurz: The Official Biography’ in 2019. Sedlar is a well-known Croatian propaganda filmmaker and Holocaust denier.
