KINO FOTOGRAFIC: HOLIDAYS AT ANY COST

15. 9. at 7 pm / entry voluntary

As part of the accompanying program to the exhibition of Lois Hechenblaikner, which focuses on mapping the impact of tourism on the Austrian Alps, we have prepared a selection of short films exploring the phenomenon of mass tourism from various angles. From crowded Barcelona and angry citizens in Venice, to obscure cruise ships or emptied resorts in post-revolutionary Tunisia, to artificial hills in Latvia.

CROWDED OUT: THE STORY OF OVER TOURISM
Beth Walker, 2018, UK, 23min
The documentary Crowded out clearly and comprehensibly describes all the essential aspects of overturism.

VIVA PARADIS
Isabelle Tollenaere, 2011, Belgium, 18min
The visually captivating documentary captures Tunisia in the midst of transformation. From an abandoned luxury hotel and the ruins of Carthage to the traces of the recent revolution. Everything seems motionless. Viva Paradis portrays the tension between revolution and tourism, change and conservatism, and the ruins of ancient and recent history.

ALL INCLUSIVE
Corina Schwingruber Ilić, 2018, Switzerland, 10min
A workout on the sun deck, a conga line in the dining hall, a photo shoot with the captain, or a beauty contest for all ages: fun around-the-clock is guaranteed on a cruise. The visual essay All Inclusive offers an exclusive insight into the bowels and program of one typical cruise ship.

SNOW CRAZY
Laila Pakalniņa, 2008, Latvia, 34min
The film by renowned director Laila Pakalnina with subversive humor captures the unstoppable desire of Latvians for skiing. What about the fact that, geographically, there are no mountains in Latvia.
