FICTION
FIRST FILM
Die Kinder der Toten
Kelly Copper, Pavol Liška – Nature Theater of Oklahoma
Elfriede Jelinek's monumental novel "Die Kinder der Toten", her most important according to her own assessment, served
as the template for a free movie adaptation, produced in the original locations near the places where the Nobel Prize Laureate
grew up. A Super 8 holiday film from Upper Styria slowly turns into the resurrection of "undead" spooks. The question of the
(im)possibility of adequate processing of accrued debt shoots through all those aspects – nature, culture, society and history
– that are still part of national identity today.
