- A wide variety of documentary subjects, from animals (dragonflies, ants) to people (Genghis Khan) to science (time, perception) to places (St. Stephens Cathedral, Umbria). The style is sometimes purely narrative, at other times imbued with scenes to illustrate a particular point. A good mix of subjects for lovers of documentaries.

- Stored in biobanks, frozen and bodiless, genes and the information they contain are turning into time travellers - be it a sheaf of barley, the stem cells of a polar bear or drops of human blood. Within this time capsule we also place old dreams: the re-creation of extinct animal species, putting an end to world hunger, human life without illness or disease. We embark on an expedition that will assemble some of the greatest and oldest archives of life and the most modern biobanks. We meet people who are reconstructing the order of nature. And we experience a struggle over life itself that not only affects scientists, but all of us.
- Hermann Wallner's everyday "world view" is a panorama of the surrounding landscape framed in metal girders. Although his freedom of motions is restricted to a few movements of the hand, his precision work is monumental in scale. Small lapses of concentration, such as at the beginning of the film when we hear a seemingly incidental radioed instruction coming from the off of this "world view", Wallner dare not allow himself: "Swing to the left, please...ah, to the right...sorry..." Hermann Wallner operates a crane although he really wanted to become a bulldozer driver. This, together with a few other shreds of information recounted by Wallner himself, is all the story Alexander Binder and Stefan Hafner need to complement this "conception of the world" impressively drawn from the bird cage perspective. In a few painstakingly arranged shots Binder and Hafner sketch the co-ordinates of a crane driver's field of vision and movement. Tilts and pans accurately aligned on metal girders; the view from above divided by metal struts; unobtrusive views into the operator's cabin. The sparse but at the same time efficient images would tend to give the impression of a brazen mechanical loftiness were it not for Wallner's voice in the off as an irretrievable human counterpoint. Wallner's short account of an incident when the crane toppled over (with him still in the cabin) is enough for Binder and Hafner, with a wink in our direction, to cause the seemingly solid structure to waver.

- And the sun also rises! The filmed autobiography of the Viennese electrician Walter Stoschek who taped his life from 1968 to 1986. Always revering to an imaginary audience, he records every important as well as every not so important incident of his life with a S8 camera.
- The city was rather gray and antiquated back in the old days. If there was any scene at all, it was a gay men`s scene. The so- called sub scene was not particularly inviting. During the frequent police raids lesbians and gay men had to be seated nicely at tables - normal and inconspicuous. Lesbian life took place in private- behind closed doors. Unlike in other countries, there is very little imagery documenting it in Austria. This visual gap still exists today with the exception of an interruption in the well-documented 70s, during which the lesbian movement was quite active politically and in the media, although lesbians are always and everywhere. Katharina Lampert and Cordula Thym`s ambitious film project deals with the lives and networks of lesbians in Vienna in the 1950s and 60s.
