\nActor, Otto Neururer<\/strong>
\n\u201cOtto Neururer is a signal, a symbol, a message, a figure of light for all the young people of this continent, that we can never allow this to happen again.\u201d FLASH \u201cWe live in a time where the destructive nationalism of people is being talked about and there is really a need to push back against it. Traditionalism and love of one\u2019s country is not bad per se. However, it should be connected in context to a big open heart and a multicultural awareness, that doesn't exclude anyone. Namely that people are welcome. The important thing is that we live together and not against each other.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\nDirector<\/strong>
\n\u201cAfter four or five films like 'Shattered Night' about Kristallnacht in Innsbruck. It is a story about engineer Richard Berger, who was someone who really helped his community during National Socialism. We discovered this priest and I really thought and talked to Peter Mair who is the screenwriter and we agreed immediately this is even a great story.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n
