- In A Visit to the Country of Boys I want to get closer to those who were presented to me as monsters in my childhood and youth and to whom I felt consciously and unconsciously inferior - the men. I want to make a film about men - about what they are like, what makes them tick, what drives them. But also about how I approach them. What behaviors I put on them, how I react to them. For this I return as a filmmaker to southern Burgenland, to a landscape where I met my husband and spent a few years of my life. The men of my "research area" have taken a liking to me - in their mixture of provinciality, worldliness, sensitivity and hard-headedness. A film about a dialogue, about approaching each other.

- 1965 action of Vienna Actionist artist Günter Brus shot and edited by Kurt Kren. Structuralist film theory emphasizes how films convey meaning through the use of codes and conventions not dissimilar to the way languages are used to construct meaning in communication. However, structuralist film theory differs from linguistic theory in that its codifications include a more apparent temporal aspect. In other words, the site of the study (the film) is moving in time and must be analyzed in a framework which can consider its temporality. To that end, structuralist film theory is dependent on a new kind of sign, first proposed by the Prague linguistic circle, dubbed the ostensive sign.

- 18 years after Kurt Kren produced his third film, he shot his masterpiece 37/78: Tree Again (1978). 18 years after I created my third darkroom film, I embarked on Train Again. This film is an homage to Kurt Kren that simultaneously taps into a classic motif in film history. My darkroom ride took a few years, but we finally arrived: All aboard.
- The film FORST bridges reality, activism and fantasy. FORST is a documentary with fictitious elements about a mysterious group of outcasts in the forest. This 50-minute film was awarded the "best short documentary prize" at the Graz Diagonale film festival. FORST is a portrait of a forest in the middle of Europe that harbors a community of banished people, set beyond urban life and civilization - a stranded world. In FORST, the outcasts proclaim their own truth and tell the story of their empowerment. For slowly they become aware of their identities as political refugees and they begin drawing liberation plans. FORST is unsettling and leaves thousands of questions unanswered. It documents a struggle at the front line of hardened opinions, the struggle of who defines reality. The filmmakers' view confronts the audience's view by being provocative, insolent and belligerent. (Amon Brandt)
