VENI VIDI VICI

In the organizer's words:

Feature film - A 2024 - 86' - OmeU

Director: Daniel Hoesl, Julia Niemann

"I can do anything, I can get away with anything," confesses businessman Amon Maynardt to a journalist, both baffled and almost disappointed. The super-rich Austrian has a particular hobby: he hunts people down in broad daylight, without making any great effort to conceal his actions. And even the police look the other way. He is "too big too fail", too rich to have to abide by the law. Daniel Hösl's dark social satire distorts neoliberal reality beyond recognition in sunny but ice-coldly framed images.

All about the power of images in film, pop culture, art and society. At FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE from October 17-24, 2024 and always online.

*Editorial Note: As the Rausgegangen team, we take a long-term view of the debate and criticism surrounding FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE. We take this debate very seriously. For us, the following is fundamentally clear: We reject any form of toxic behavior in the workplace and actively position ourselves against it. But what we do: We recommend content. We stand behind the filmmakers, the artists and the works. Regardless of politics, we want to recommend films and give you the opportunity to get to know the festival and its program. That's why you'll find the FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE content on our website.
