- DirectorBarbara AlbertStarsNina ProllEdita MalovcicAstrit AlihajdarajJasmin, Tamara, Valentin, Senad, and Roman live near the northern border of Austria in 1995. Their lives repeatedly intersect and drift apart. The characters involved are young migrants from the former Yugoslavia, Romania, Poland, and Austria itself. Strangers in a strange land, they feel a sense of loss in their new, temporary environment. The quintet meets and gets close to one another, hopelessly clinging to friendships and relationships with no future. They frequent cafés and train stations dreaming of a better tomorrow. Often, they just fall back on the prospect of short-term affection in yet another doomed romantic or sexual encounter. Trying hard to suppress the memories of war and alienation, they try to find moral strength and warmth through one another.

- DirectorStefan RuzowitzkyStarsSimon SchwarzSophie RoisLars RudolphAustria, a little farming valley. Beginning of the century.

- DirectorHarald SicheritzStarsAlfred DorferJohn Phillip LawThomas KoziolTrauma surgeon Thomas Reiter voluntarily withdraws to a closed institution because he no longer wants to face everyday life. He solves problems in his imagination - a western fantasy. A priest is commissioned by his worried parents to bring their son back to reality. When Thomas asks him to follow him into his western world, the pastor realizes that this escape from reality is not without its fascination... A humorous look at reality and imagination, a film about the dissolution of borders. "So someone has difficulties with their life and flees into a simple world. Of course, as a screenwriter, I could also say in such a case that they flee into video games - but that was all too banal for me, it was too obvious "The Western also stands for something, it stands for simplification. There is good and there is bad, so pretty clear guidelines. For me, that was the clearest leap for someone for whom reality is too complex. In addition, it was of course a huge one Incentive to seriously try to make one, especially in a country where there is no infrastructure for a western. Nevertheless: WANTED is definitely not a western. That's very important. The western is only a small part of the film, a Neighborhood maybe, where a certain wishful thinking is served. Everything else is very real. To me it's a comedy, but I can also laugh at things that other people don't find funny at all. Let's put it this way: If INDIA was a comedy, then n WANTED is also one."

- DirectorMichael GlawoggerMonika WilliStarsBirgit MinichmayrFiona ShawRobin A Townsend"I want to give a view of the world that can only emerge by not pursuing any particular theme, by refraining from passing judgment, proceeding without aim. Drifting with no direction except one's own curiosity and intuition." (Michael Glawogger) More than two years after the sudden death of Michael Glawogger in April 2014, film editor Monika Willi realizes a film out of the film footage produced during 4 months and 19 days of shooting in the Balkans, Italy, Northwest and West Africa. A journey into the world to observe, listen and experience, the eye attentive, courageous and raw. Serendipity is the concept - in shooting as well as in editing the film.
