Lovely Rita. by Hausner, Jessica,film director.; Osika, Barbara,actor.; Bauer, Christoph,actor.; Brandlmayer, Karina,actor.; Fiala, Peter,actor.; Kostal, Wolfgang,actor.; Film Movement (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Barbara Osika, Christoph Bauer, Karina Brandlmayer, Peter Fiala, Wolfgang KostalOriginally produced by Film Movement in 2001.Feeling confined by her well-mannered suburban environment, the pubescent Rita gradually attempts to test and break the expectations made of her. As she skips class to pursue her infatuation for a local bus driver as well as her own desires, her disapproving parents and classmates begin to question the motivation behind her provocations. However, Rita’s adolescent rebellions occlude a more sinister intention. “A deliciously observed, ironic take on middle-class Austrian life,” (Variety) Jessica Hausner’s debut feature establishes her thematic interest in societal assimilation with a singular portrait of teenage recalcitrance. Newly restored in 4k and available for the first time in North America, LOVELY RITA remains just as shocking as it was during its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in 2001.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Hotel. by Hausner, Jessica,film director.; Minichmayr, Birgit,actor.; Schärf, Christopher,actor.; Weisz, Franziska,actor.; Streeruwitz, Marlene,actor.; Waissnix, Rosa,actor.; Film Movement (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Birgit Minichmayr, Christopher Schärf, Franziska Weisz, Marlene Streeruwitz, Rosa WaissnixOriginally produced by Film Movement in 2004.Newly restored in 4K and available for the first time in North America, Austrian auteur Jessica Hausner radically upends genre tropes and preempts the resurgence of folk horror with her second and most formally audacious feature, HOTEL. The deceptively simple premise of a young woman who takes on a job as a night porter at a remote Austrian hotel and encounters unexplained phenomena amounts to a grand treatise on the inhibiting potential of imagination, the fine line between banality and terror and the looming specter of fate. Hausner’s sophomore feature is a haunting metaphysical horror film unlike any other.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Lourdes. by Hausner, Jessica,film director.; Todeschini, Bruno,actor.; Löwensohn, Elina,actor.; Seydoux, Léa,actor.; Testud, Sylvie,actor.; Film Movement (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Bruno Todeschini, Elina Löwensohn, Léa Seydoux, Sylvie TestudOriginally produced by Film Movement in 2009.Afflicted with multiple sclerosis, Christine makes a pilgrimage to the holy site of Lourdes in hopes of a miracle. Among thousands of ailed visitors, she proceeds through the well-oiled machinery of the religious tourist destination until the unbelievable happens: she is suddenly able to walk. As Christine becomes the object of wonder and envy, bolstering and testing the faith of her fellow pilgrims, the question remains whether all is as it seems. A personal favorite of Martin Scorsese, Jessica Hausner’s acclaimed third feature distills the central theme of her filmography: the contentious gray area between faith and fact.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
