About Umbrales

 Johannes Gierlinger, AT 2021, 98'
'Die vergangenen Zukünfte' ('Futures of the past') is a political and poetic reflection on the nature and effects of revolutions. An exemplary starting point for this essaystic film is the March Revolution of 1848 in Vienna. What remains of a revolution? When is it considered to have failed and when and how are its achievements manifested?
Followed by audience discussion with Johannes Gierlinger and Florian Wüst.
