The Art of Time Is Resistance
At the end of March the film and video programme »The Art of the Time Is Resistance« was presented with great success at »Diagonale«, the festival of Austrian film in Graz. The programme went on to be awarded the »Prize for Innovative Cinema«. To express our solidarity with Austria's creative artists, the
International Hamburg Short Film Festival is screening a selection of these films. Since right-wing Freedom Party rhetoric à la Joerg Haider - you'd better not bite the hand that feeds you - has already started to suppress critical art in Austria, opposition is absolutely vital. So please, bare your teeth and bite!

The films are individual and at times spontaneous reactions to the political situation which has
manifest itself in Austria since the beginning of the coalition between the Freedom Party and the
conservatives on 3rd February 2000.
They are ideas, short statements trying in a filmic manner to express a critical attitude towards a
country going to pieces.
One question recurs in several films, a question which reveals a desperate search: How could the
Freedom Party have become so popular and who exactly votes for it? Other film documentations show
the emotions, frustrations and perturbing thoughts of people in opposition to the government.
