a film by Ruth
Beckermann, Austria 2001 (in German with English
subtitles, 85 min.) Introductory remarks by director
Ruth Beckermann. From summer 1999 until spring 2000,
Ruth Beckermann explored her immediate neighborhood in
the oldest part of Vienna. Beckermann was fascinated by
the people, debating and gesticulating, machinating and
speculating, or just simply passing by. Homemad(e) shows
how political issues are reflected upon in the coffee
house which constitutes, to quote writer Alfred Polgar,
"a world-view by itself. A view whose innermost
essence is to avoid viewing the world. After all, what
is there to see?" October

from the periphery entails more than just telling
stories from suburbia. It is also a reflection of a
specific view of life driven by wide ranging and complex
situations. The tension between the periphery and center
in Berlin is the result of many historical, political
and geographical circumstances. For author Kathrin
Röggla, this tension becomes a linguistic vehicle, a
kind of grammar, to expose the tremendous changes in
mentality and social life that Berlin has undergone over
the last decade. info: Embassy of Austria at t

previously, shoppers will be able to feast on authentic
