Dor FilmFeature film by Sabine Hiebler & Gerhard Ertl after a novel by Cornelia Travnicek CHUCKS, the new film by Sabine Hiebler and Gerhard Ertl ("Coming of Age/Anfang 80"), tells the featherlight story of Mae's growing up between life and death. Full of humor, at times rebelliously loud, then extremely tender – completely in the spirit of the literary version it is based on, the successful novel by Cornelia Travnicek about which Clemens J. Setz once wrote: “If I were to get stuck in a lift with a character of contemporary literature, I would want it to be Mae. I don’t know whether I would come out safe and sound, but it would be worth it.” Chucks: Film Details I Film website I Trailer I Production notes Sabine Hiebler and Gerhard Ertl Chuck Directors filmography
Ever since they were students at the University of Art and Industrial Design in Linz, Sabine Hiebler and Gerhard Ertl have worked together.In the early stages of their artistic cooperation they produced and staged prize-winning experimental films which were shown around the world (e.g. the New York Film Festival, Berlin Film Festival, MOMA Museum of Modern Art, New York). Their artistic endeavours in the realms of photography, visual arts and video have been presented in numerous exhibitions (Ars Electronica, Neuen Galerie Graz, Vienna Museum of Art History, Biennale de l´image Paris). Sabine Hiebler and Gerhard Ertl’s first feature film was NOGO – an episode film with Jürgen Vogel, Michael Ostrowski in his first film role, Jasmin Tabatabai, Meret Becker, Oliver Korittke and Mavie Hörbiger.The film had its international premiere in Rotterdam and at the Max Ophüls Festival in Saarbrücken, was invited to festivals around the world and received numerous awards including the Variety Critics’ Choice and the Diagonale Award for Innovative Production. This was followed by another feature film which won numerous awards, Anfang 80, with Christine Ostermayer and Karl Merkatz in the leading roles. Both the film and the actors were awarded in Austria and around the world (including the Best Foreign Film Santa Barbara, Best Actor and Audience Prize World Film Festival Montreal, Best Narrative Film Wisconsin).
