Giacomo Girolamo Casanova nasceu em Veneza (Itália), em 1725. Célebre pela sua existência libertina, foi um sedutor e amante instigado por um desejo de aventura e conhecimento que nunca o abandonou, nem na velhice. De espírito temerário, passou grande parte da vida em viagens pela Europa, onde foi encontrando algumas das mais importantes personalidades do seu tempo, como Mozart, Voltaire ou Rousseau. Mais tarde, já de idade avançada, dedica-se à escrita de "História da Minha Vida", uma longuíssima obra biográfica onde confessa as suas aventuras e que, desde a sua publicação, constitui um importante testemunho do pensamento do século XVIII. Neste "Variações de Casanova", o protagonista, já idoso, recebe a visita de Elisa van der Recke, uma bela e misteriosa mulher que o fará recordar o passado, as suas paixões e, sobretudo, o seu constante medo da morte.

Documentary about Austrian city Judenburg and its art scene.

Twenty-eight well-known filmmakers living and working in Austria were invited by WIENER MOZARTJAHR 2006, to produce associative miniatures on Mozart. Requirement: they had to be one-minute artistic short films. The directors come from a whole range of different backgrounds, ranging from animated, experimental and short film to documentaries and feature films. The result is a multi-facetted sampler of diverse formal and contextual positions with regard to Mozart’s person and his influence on today’s society, art and culture. The contributions run the gamut from experimental-conceptual statements through socio-critical and documentary observations to pithy short feature films.

No other adjective fits this little and delicious essay on Alpine landscapes and tourists that rest thereabout from the year‘s commotion. Bady Minck works with disposable material — old pictures and postcards — and builds with it a monument to touristic kitsch, using all digital technology available as if it were a rejuvenating system for memories. The result is hypnotic and absurdly beautiful, at the same time as it reveals to us that towns and cities also have a soul. (Buenos Aires Festival Internacional de Cine Independiente 04/04) This film takes us on a time-travel using images of an iconic mountain found on postcards. The historic imprint of political realities and human fates are rendered visible onto the idealized landscapes. The post cards where written by travellers who witnessed the same place at different times.

He was taken up in the mental clinic of the Leipzig University soon afterwards. To his rehabilition he wrote an extensive piece of work, "Denkwürdigkeiten eines Nervenkranken" (Memoirs of My Nervous Illness), which was published in 1903 and led to his temporary dismissal. Hereby Schreber became the most quoted psychiatric patient in scientific literature. The third part was realized by Peter Tscherkassy based on a concept by Ernst Schmidt Jr.
