In his documentary-essay-film The fortune you seek is in another cookie (81Min), which premiered in 2014 in Competition at the renowned film festival CPH:DOX in Copenhagen, the Viennese director Johannes Gierlinger deals with resistance – whether political or in oneself – , in connection to the ever-elusive sensation of happiness. On the one hand, he investigates the dynamics of collectives and protest movements, on the other hand, he observes the need for solitude or seclusion. A search that turns out to be not only personal but also a poetic-political practise.
For 2020/21 an updated new version of this Film is to be worked out, which will be published in cooperation with the musicians Peter Kutin (El), Lukas König (Drums, Percussions, El.), Karolina Preuschl (Synth. Voice) and David Schweighart (Percussion).
