The next performance of Ritzen will be on 1st of March, 2008 - this saturday.

The pictures from the premiere are online now and if you haven´t reserved tickets yet you really should!

Until tomorrow we give away 2×2 tickets, just visit the website and probably win some free tickets.

It took 80 years for an austrian movie to get an oscar: Die Fälscher (The Counterfeiters) from Stefan Ruzowitzky.

You may think what you want about the Oscars, i´m proud that an austrian movie made it, probably more Austrians are more willing to watch austrian movies from now on, let´s hope so.

And furthermore different politicians announced to raise movie-fundings, so that Oscar isn´t just a huge honor, it´s a great promotion for all of the austrian moviemakers and hopefully will lead to better support from moviegoers and the state.

It´s over. And it has been great!

I´ve been really edgy about the premiere, it was the first theater play i directed, but it all went really well. The performance of Christian was breathtaking, the audience gave us really nice feedback and there was not a single problem during the whole evening - better than we expected it.

One of the things i feared the most was that the author Walter Kohl wouldn´t like the play, but he did!

So our next goal is the staging on the 1st of March, let´s hope the resonance will be so well again.
