- In a Western theme park near Vienna, a handful of 'residents' (the people who work there) are living on the small line between reality and fiction.
- ICH MUSS DIR WAS SAGEN is a documentary film about the 4-year old twin brothers Oskar and Leo. Oskar has been deaf since birth, Leo has unimpaired hearing. Both are growing up with a shared language that develops in silence: sign language. Over the course of a year the young filmmaker Martin Nguyen has observed the twins from up close and from their perspective, watching them grow and discover a world that they are getting to know through sign language. The film examines what the diagnosis "deaf" means to Oskar's hearing parents, Sandra and Stefan. The cochlear implant that could enable Oskar to hear has been an issue since his birth, but for the time being his parents have decided to take sign language classes and to raise the children in what is for them a foreign language. Leo is being brought up bilingual, with sign language and spoken language. For Oskar, however, sign language is his essential form of expression - his mother tongue.
- A series looking for old handicraft traditions in the hand of young, innovative master craftspeople. Craftsmanship has a long history and in a state of flux it has often been declared dead. What drives young people to devote themselves to old crafts? Has a trend for crafts emerged? Is it simply a lifestyle or just in fashion? Does society even need hand-made goods? Isn't that just luxury for the privileged? Or do those new ideas coupled with old craftsmanship stand for sustainability, quality and beauty?
- God and Fatherland narrates the extraordinary stories of Muslims serving in the Austrian Army, more specifically the story of an emancipated Muslim woman and the story of a convert. Two completely different interpretations of a faith, two different views on what it means to be an Austrian citizen, two different reasons to serve the "fatherland" as a soldier.
- Lisl Goldarbeiter and Marci Tenczer -born in 1908- were cousins and knew each other since early childhood. The Goldarbeiters lived in Vienna and belonged to the Austrian wing of a large Austro-Hungarian Jewish family. The Tenczer's lived in Szeged, and formed the Hungarian wing. The family ties between Vienna and Szeged never ceased. Marci moved to Vienna in 1926, to study. The first anti-Semitic law in Europe, the Hungarian Numerous Clauses of 1922, made it impossible for Jews to enter a University in Hungary. Marci lived in the house of the Goldarbeiters and studied at the Technical University from 1926-1936. Marci secretly loved his cousin Lisl. He started to make films of her, her family and Vienna shortly after his arrival. He was very poor but succeeded in saving cash for his film hobby by walking the city, instead of taking the tram. In 1929, without telling anybody, Marci caused Lisl's entry into the world of beauty; and she became world famous.
