DREAMS
Feature Documentary, Script: Brigitte Holzinger, Karina Ressler Director: N.N.
Night by night dreams offer us another world untangled from the constraints of
everyday life. In our dreams we are free from any boundaries, even the ones of our
imagination. While sleeping, even the most rational, down-to-earth people among us
experience peculiar and often bizarre stories emerging from realms repressed,
forgotten and often mystified, projected onto an inner screen. The documentary
DREAMS brings us closer to the unique phenomenon of dreaming. It makes us
indulge into the dreams of others and allows us insights into the most recent findings
of dream research.

WIRTSHAUS, THE MOVIE (THE INN)
Feature Film Script by Gideon Koval and Robert Buchschwenter
When late developer Hansl (16) enjoys a surprising erotic encounter with innkeeper's daughter Hannerl (19), it serves as a rude awakening from his dreamy world of books and his own writing. He begins to take an interest in girls but overlooks the rather mousy Mej Windgruber (18), who also enjoys reading and is sincerely interested in his literary efforts. Hansl now embarks on a devious career as a ghostwriter for love-letters, thus causing considerable confusion between the three girls and two boys involved. While both Mej and Hansl have managed to fall for the wrong partners, gradually a close and intimate friendship springs up between them... but before it can take on a romantic aspect it collapses in the face of Hansl’s little deception. But now Hansl does his very best to extricate himself from the mess he has made and compensate for all his mistakes. Mej sees the effort he is making and decides to forgive him.
