Kurt Waldheim

Фильм об "альтернативной правде", о том, как бесчестный человек может получить власть. Режиссёр документирует весь процесс раскрытия тайн военного прошлого Курта Вальдхайма, Генерального секретаря ООН. Когда он баллотировался в президенты Австрии, Всемирный еврейских конгресс выдвинул против него череду обвинений. Австрийская политическая верхушка все отрицала, последовали всплески антисемитизма и патриотизма, и в итоге он был избран. Фильм создан на уникальных материалах и кадрах, снятых самой Бекерманн во время акций протеста 1986 г.

Stealing Klimt recounts the struggle by 90-year-old Maria Altmann to recover five Gustav Klimt paintings stolen from her family by the Nazis in Vienna. From the end of the War up until last year, these paintings hung in the Austrian National Gallery. The film covers Maria's early life in glittering fin-de-siècle Vienna, her dramatic escape from Nazi terror and her courageous fight to recover the five Klimt's against all the odds. Maria's fight to reclaim the paintings eventually took her to the United States Supreme Court and pitted her not just against Austria but also against the US Government which asked the Supreme Court to reject her case. After Maria finally emerged victorious in 2006, one of the paintings - the "Golden Portrait" of Maria's aunt, Adele Bloch Bauer - was sold to cosmetics tycoon Ronald Lauder for $135m, becoming the world's most expensive painting ever sold. The other four paintings were recently auctioned at Christie's for record prices.

A mock trial, featuring 5 international judges, to evaluate whether Austrian president and former U.N. secretary-general Kurt Waldheim should be tried as a war criminal.
