Salzburg/Puch-Urstein (OTS) – The short film “Come on, let’s go” the MultiMediaArtstudents Anna Unterweger, Felix Seitlinger, Sabine Weissensteiner and Carla Bambauer can be seen at the internationally renowned film festival Energa CameraImage – as the only Austrian contribution in the Student Panorama category.

The Polish Film Festival “Energa CameraImage” is considered the most important international festival for the art of camera work in the film industry and already has stars such as Baz Luhrmann, Denis Villeneuve and Quentin Tarantino among the guests. The graduation film was Stephen Spielberg’s The Fablemans. For the first time, a short film by students from the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences has made it into the program. “Come on, let’s go” impresses with its fusion of the present and the past of the 1960s.

The director and screenwriter Anna Unterweger has the 30-minute strip together with a 50-strong team of producers Sabine Weissensteiner, Carla Bambauer and cameraman Felix Seilinger realized. The film is about an old lady who visits the lake house where she grew up and meets the people she and her husband once were. She asks herself: “How would her life have been different if she had reacted differently at a crucial moment?”. “Come on, let’s go” tells a moving story about love, friendship, identity, conformity and the big question: “What if?”.

Short film in the 60s setting. The film inspires with a special attention to detail and the highest quality standards in all areas of work. The Austrian TV and theater legends Johanna Mertinz (Volkstheater) and Florentin Groll (Schlosshotel Orth) can be seen in the leading roles. Filming was managed primarily through film grants as well as crowdfunding. “The authentic look of the 1960s was particularly important to us. Original wallpaper, vintage costumes and a feeling of lightness,” says producer Sabine Weissensteiner.

The 27-year-old Styrian traveled to Poland together with cameraman Felix Seitlinger to present the film and to take part in a 30-minute panel discussion about the process of making “Komm, wir geht”. “The festival has a top-class cast and still meets everyone on an equal footing,” enthuses Felix Seitlinger.
