LUDEN
COMING UP
Luden
Istvan’s newest project follows the “Luden“, the pimps who control the red-light milieu in St. Pauli. It is in this milieu that Sonnyboy Klaus Barkowsky begins his rise to become the legendary “Lamborghini-Klaus.” Made a pimp by the tough prostitute Jutta, he founds the “Nutella” gang, which soon engages in a battle with the established “GMBH” for power and big money on the Kiez.
“Luden” is directed by Istvan and Laura Lackmann, produced by NeueSuper for Amazon Prime.
VARIA
DAS ÖSTERREICHISCHE FILMMUSEUM
Ich empfehle jedem und jeder Filminteressierten das Filmmuseum in Wien. Das Filmmuseum ist ein Museum wo die Ausstellungen auf der Leinwand stattfinden. Es werden Filme in kuratierten Retrospektiven, zu speziellen Themenblöcken, filmischen Epochen oder bestimmten Genres gezeigt. Von Stummfilmen, über Filme der Nouvelle Vague bis zu "Terminator" kann man dort alles sehen..
Für mich persönlich war das Filmmuseum ein sehr prägender Ort, und Ersatz für die Filmschule, weil ich dort mit allen Facetten des historischen Filmschaffens in Kontakt kam.
