What Gina wants more than anything else is for them all to remain a family. The nine-year-old girl is already taking care of her younger brothers. She’s also prepared to look after the baby that’s on the way. She does her best to keep an eye on her mother, who is in the later stages of pregnancy and suffers from alcoholism. In GINA, filmmaker Ulrike Kofler looks at three generations of a family where failure is perpetuated inescapably, addressing the delicate issue of what happens when the private sphere urgently needs help from outside.

There are two Austrian world premieres on the festival schedules this week:
 
b l u i s h, second feature by Lilith Kraxner & Milena Czernovsky will show at the FID Marseille (June 25 to 30) as an International Competition entry.
 
GINA, also a second feature by Ulrike Kofler, is a contender at the Cinevision Competition at the Munich IFF (June 28 to July 7)
