3RD YEAR

Ignorance and blindness. A short experimental film with dark humor hints at how we treat not even the most bizarre of situations but even the most pressing problems of today. Dude...!


  • Name of the movie: Dude
  • Movie block: 27. Issues of the Day
  • Competition category: fiction (1D)
  • Year of origin: 2021
  • Country of origin: Austria
  • Duration : 3.31 min
  • Reason for making the movie:

    The prompt for making this film was "My sweetest taboo - from the temptation to break boundaries". Under the title, we did not ask the creators to break a taboo, but rather to ask them which norms of our society they find outdated, obsolete, nonsensical or simply ridiculous for young people. We asked the young creators for stories that deal with seemingly absurd boundaries, live out a fantasy of transgressing them or play with the idea of breaking a taboo. And Dude does just that and more.

  • Other information:

    The film was created as a team project of eight young people up to the age of 20 years old, during the Crossing Europe 2021 film festival, and with the support of a mentor David Panhofer. Thus this film does not have one single director.
