His first “country thriller” is screened Tuesday: an interview with director Mirjam Unger about MeToo, the musicality of Tyrolean music and what Axel Corti has to do with his career.
“Die Tote aus dem Bergsee” deals with a sensitive subject from MeToo. You realized that with a women’s team. How did that happen?
Mirjam Unger: We started planning this movie in 2016. You have just started to discuss it. There has been a lot of discussion about gender balance. That fitted well with the script that cameraman Eva Testor had been preparing for a long time. In the course of script work, he turned the investigator into an investigator, played by Patricia Aulitzky.
It is the team that together created “Maikäfer flieg!” From Christine Nöstlinger for the cinema.
We are a female film group. This is our television debut. Eva had never written for television before. Gabriele Kranzelbinder is an absolute rarity in Austria as a producer. Katharina Wöppermann is a renowned film set designer. I don’t want to exaggerate, but we are a bit of a pioneer because we hold on to the idea that something is possible in terms of gender equality and that we can change that now.
