Welcome Home Baby
Emergency doctor Judith sets out with her pale hipster husband to visit Austria, the home country she hates, where her mother once disappeared and her wealthy physician dad put her up for adoption, to accept an inheritance. And really, the forest- and mountain-seamed idyll soon turns out to be a perilous motherfucker. It’s a rare treat to see one’s alienated home country with such visual acuity and traumatic derangement. The village line cannot be crossed. Photos of the haunted house remain faded. Root cellars have become remote skull crypts. Bludgeoned to death by the afterbirth, our rural poets now all gleefully push daisies. The scent of the schweinsbraten is extra-black today. A prime cut of anti-homeland heebie-jeebies. (Paul Poet)
In attendance of Andreas Prochaska (director) + Cast & Crew
Prochaska, Andreas began his career as an editor for filmmakers such as Michael Haneke (Funny Games) and later had a directorial breakthrough himself with the first-ever Austrian teenie slasher, Dead in Three Days (2006), which he followed up two years later with the sequel, Dead in 3 Days 2. A highly versatile filmmaker, he landed another huge domestic success with the comedy The Unintentional Kidnapping of Mrs. Elfriede Ott and introduced us to the Alpine Western genre with The Dark Valley. Over the past decade he has worked mainly for the small screen, both broadcast TV and streaming. He directed many episodes of series like Das Boot, Spuren des Bösen, Alex Rider and, most recently, Love Sucks.
